An Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit report said the airman initially started talking in a "rambling and disjointed" manner then refused to observe safety procedures.
The other pilot then asked if any passenger was a qualified pilot.
When no-one was found, one stewardess admitted she held a current commercial pilot's licence but her qualifications for reading cockpit instruments had expired.
She helped land the aircraft safely at Shannon Airport in western Ireland.
