How a Professional Pilot Could Possibly Land a Giant Plane at the Wrong Airport
The story of two pilots landing a Boeing 747 at the wrong airport last week drew a lot of rolled eyes, more than a little laughter and serious questions about how on earth two experienced pilots could so make such a colossal error. (www.wired.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
IF they had done the the ILS this would not have happen but this being said where was atc while this going on ? I bet they never make that mistake again. I did some blunders while I was flying so feel kinda sorry for them but it is a serious mistake.
Because they thought they knew too much, the ATCs included.
Such people(pilots and ATCs) should be withdrawn from active duty for ever or may be for a fairly long time, and then must be made to start afresh.
To say the least.
May be too harsh, BUT considering the nature of mistake , that is the minimum/must .
Or else, some others may do it. Remember world(not USA alone) is full of crazy and over confident people.

Still don't know the why, but in most cases like this, there is very little mercy. If you commit an offense, punishment is generally spelled out with no exception.
Yes , you can say that again.
Mistake is a mistake. Period.
Like you have taught me, a pilot has to deliver 100 % .
Happy Thanksgiving .

Its a simple mistake, we all make them. One time at Destin, FL I landed in the wrong direction on the runway and I was just plane LUCKY that ATC had noticed. Eventho I had already changed frequencies the other airplane waiting to depart was still with departure ATC and they were held on the ground......VERY LUCKY for me. I have not made that mistake since.........a LESSON LEARNED!!
Now when I go to a new or unfamiliar airport I will always program in the approach whether im IFR or doing a visual.

In simple words, EVERY pilot is ENTITLED to make mistakes once in a while, even if it means to endanger the well being of the aircraft, and the lives of passengers too !
Is this what you mean, my dear friend cblair0608 ?

As I have commented elsewhere, it is a mistake, and yes, we will all make them every now and then, BUT, at this level, there is no mercy when you get caught.
Yes you have said so many a time, and that's what I've learnt from you.
But I was curious what our friend cblair0608 was meaning to say ?
