Depends where you wrongly landed and how bored the tower crew is. There are plenty of controlled fields in the U. S. that see maybe a dozen flights a day, believe it or not, particularly now that GA is half-dead. It's been awhile since I was involved in anything like that, but I suspect that if you quickly call the tower or FSS and apologize, explain what caused you to make the mistake, they'll just tell you to try not to do it again.

I speak as a GA pilot, of course. I'm sure it's quite different for air-transport pilots.

Senator Inhofe, by the way, tried to buy my Falco 10 years ago. I refused to sell it to him.
