description: "Robert Piché is a retired Canadian pilot. On August 24, 2001, he was captain of the Airbus A330 flying Air Transat Flight 236 and managed to land the aircraft safely in the Azores after it lost all power due to fuel exhaustion. As of June 2026, this remains a record glide length for a commercial aircraft in non-powered flight. Piché and his co-pilot were later assigned partial responsibility for the incident."
