and smallfry: don't mix up mistake and intentional deviation. take-off from the wrong runway is a mistake. making a trans-atlantic photo-tcas is a intentional deviation.

Please do not mix up rule violations with other types of error. The take-off from the wrong runway has yet to be allocated its error type. It might have been a slip/lapse/rule based mistake/knowledge based mistake. Those are the simple categories to consider, they get a lot more complicated at the next level down.

What you will find is that the initiating event will probably fall into the rule based mistake category, that there might have been the odd rule violation, there is likely to be a lapse or two and a couple of other mistake types in the recovery factors which failed in this case.

The cognitive modelling of the individual crew members could be quite interesting for this case. Certainly, I suspect that there will be a lack of knowledge in some areas. Still, even the updated Jepps are wrong, let alone those charts carried by the crew.

I bet there was even a "frequency gambling" type in the wrong runway take-off accident.

Happy landings
