![PASSENGER LANDS PLANE After Pilot Incapacitation [ATC audio]](/img/1.gif)
Landing at the wrong airport is not just embarrassing, it is extremely dangerous.
Because it means you landed on that airport without approval.
Possibilities to crash and burn are nearly endless.
It's dangerous, but not for the reasons you mentioned. A wrong runway landing means ACTUAL runway length and width and conditions are not considered or briefed. Missed approach requirements and procedures are non exsistent. Basically you are a test pilot. Approval is not required at most all non towered airports. A private airport may be PPR but there are few of those.
When I was a student pilot, one of the pilots in my class accidently landed at a drag strip while thinking he was in a pattern at an uncontrolled field.
As for me there was one time I nearly landed at a military base devoted to parachute training while talking to the tower where I intended to land. All VFR stuff. What confused me was the materials used in the runway construction of the two different airports. One just did not stand out like all the airports I ever landed at up to that time. I figured it out just in time. In California there are no shortage of airports, often confusingly close to each other. Yes I finished with my private, commercial and instrument ratings, and thanks to the learning experience, I don't make those errors anymore.

This is exactly why you back up every visual approach with electronic guidance unless you are INTIMATELY familiar with the area, airspace and airport, ESPECIALLY at night!
From the upcoming book "The things we did on our last day as corporate pilot crew"
Hahaha but I feel so bad for him, I hope it never happens for me! Ill be more carful from now on
Oof, and they’re medevac? That’s terrifying.
Dude has no business flying.
Why don't they have a taxiway connecting those two airports? Or make the runways a few hundred feet longer, so that they touch? :D
Pilots are so stunned at times.
Laziness and complacency at work. Always back up your arrival runway with the best navigational aids available. The idiots at Air Canada could have killed hundreds if they succeeded in landing on the taxiway they were lined up with instead of the runway at SFO. No excuse for not using all available navaids, especially during VFR arrivals. Doing so would have alerted the Air Canada crew of the insanity they were about to commit.
Not the first time a plane has been wheels down at the wrong airport. How embarrassing.
Not the last time either. Hopefully will be for a while but it's gonna happen unless the world itself comes to an end first somehow
I’m not gonna cast shade at anyone landing at the wrong airport in a place they’ve never been to before at night. On a freight run somewhere either in Arizona or New Mexico we were cleared for the visual. We never could see the stinkin’ airport and things weren’t lining up with the approach we loaded because we were chicken. So we didn’t descend. I finally asked the controller to turn us out and bring us back around for the full approach. It’s a mistake that’s way too easy to make. I load the approach because my Ol’ Lady likes me.
One of those human errors that even the most diligent pilot can make. Not happened to me yet, but there’s time.
Fired, never flying 135 again this decade.. incredible tool considering the avionics in even an OLD Citation Ultra..... ATP grad no doubt. The retardation factor is really staggering. "Um yeah - could you have the CCT ambulance meet crew at another airport...um... I'll tell you which one as soon as I find out"
Oof, then the cops saw it too, lol.
Number to call…..
You're flying a jet and can't read a compass?
ok, but two airports five miles apart. asking for trouble yeah....
I thought he would do it a 2nd time
😁
So what exactly happens to him after this? Genuinely curious

@HartsfieldSpotting gulag
yeah guys, it gets confused up there sometimes, I remember when doing crosscountries purely visually, it was hard to find some airfields as close as 5 miles to them!
Correct me if I'm wrong, not a pilot, but does Whiteman even have a runway 15? Just asking.
From the image, I'm guessing not BUT at the same time if this was at night then the runway number was more than likely not as visible as one would think
@@wildgurgs3614 The number was invisible. The heading indicator in the aircraft not so much.
was there any number copied for possible pilot devation? or do certain pilots get certain treatment?
the medevacs get a pass.
Every mistake isn't treated as a pilot deviation. At that time of night Whiteman was non-towered, so he didn't land without a clearance because one wasn't required. There were no traffic conflicts, so basically no harm/no foul.
Yes different pilots get different well earned treatment.
Some are given slack well others have squandered theirs.
hmm...guess we didn't catch that we were landing 12 and not 15?
Expectation bias is a strong force. But as a crew and with today's day and age avionics that should actually be impossible.
Oops! 🤭
Those are very close though. You Yanks have airports at every second street corner.
It doesn't matter. That's what GPS and rnav approach is for .
@@nightflight1454 never accept the visual. request the published every time.
Yankee is a slur used to refer to people from the north east.
@A.J.1656 The British are the ones who came up with the term originally, and they refer to us all as yanks .
@@nightflight1454
What does that have to do with anything? White people came up with the "n" word. And over time it became a racial slur. That does't make it appropriate any more than "yank".
I took a lot of shit for telling atc, I don’t do visuals. With an ILS tuned, it’s fine
As PIC you have every right not to accept visual approaches ESPECIALLY because of safety concerns. Better to inconvenience the airport for a little bit than to risk giving more work to a crash investigation team.
