Quote: My dad works for Langford Lodge out near Crumlin, which runway is directly underneath the approach for runway 07. This morning, he phoned me and said that a continental plane accidently mistaken their runway for Belfast Internationals and at the last minute they must have realized it was too short and put on full thrusters and avoided landing. I do trust my dad in saying this, but would anyone else have any more info on this?
This happened before a few years ago but I cant see it happening now as since that incident BFS ATC now always ask pilots to confirm that runway lights are in sight before giving landing clearance when using runway 07 so I cannot see them mistaking langford for BFS. As speedbirdATC mentioned, no AGL or PAPI's at Langford.
