A Lufthansa plane flew for about 10 minutes without a pilot when the co-pilot became incapacitated during a flight last February .

The plane was flying from Frankfurt , Germany , to Seville , Spain , when the captain left the flight deck to go to the bathroom.

The captain could not get back into the cockpit because the cockpit's door can only be opened from the inside.

A doctor diagnosed the 38-year-old pilot with a possible heart condition, a report says.
