I wonder if there seems to be a history of mis-identifying runways/taxiways.....
Indeed a very good point. I remember the case at Gatwick where the parallel strip that is more often used as taxiway than runway was landed on while an Aer Lingus was taxying along it.
No case of the landing aircraft not being in contact with the tower and no case of the tower not being in a position to say go arround back then. Remind me again what the airline involved was and what the result of the investigation was?
In this case, the only question I have regarding the ATC procedures are what happens if say a citation who takes a wrong turn infringes the (real)runway. Seems that even if the tower controller sees the infringement they can not tell the flight that has been cleared to land to go round.
