During the approach to Leipzig Airport, the responsible training captain, who was acting as pilot monitor, dropped out. The safety co-pilot present in the cockpit changed seats with him and took over the role of pilot monitoring. The approach was aborted at about 1 000 ft and a go-around was initiated. A captain, who was also a passenger, then replaced the safety co-pilot, took over the role of pilot-flying and landed the aircraft without further problems.
