GCAP says...
Typically,at ATL, approaches are flown to the outside runways and departures from the inside. If given a side-step to 27R, radios are unlikely tuned and the final approach flown visually. This is much easier to do than we would like to believe. More so after flying all night.
There but for the grace of God...........
Yeah I agree... perhaps for a simulator pilot who is color blind, or perhaps a Tyro
.
I have to say, after 34 years of flying combination of long haul, and all night flying, I still find it hard to land on a taxiway...
By the way... can everyone say Localizer and Glide Slope... oh and Magenta line?
