missed the clue that there were two runways at their destination
Well, there were 2 rwy's, but then again NOT
m0567/13 notamr m0556/13
q) /qmrlc
a) kiab
b) 201309241529
c) 201312152359
e) runway 01l/19r closed. All approaches to runway
01l/19r unavailable.
Their mind was probably set to only one N-S rwy at destination


And let's expand the list of 'obvious' clues they should not have missed:
- before Mc C 19's you overfly the whole E. suburb; at Jabara 18 it's farmland
- Jabara has MALSR approach lights i.o. the ALSF-1 they should look for.
- the massive apron just to the left of the threshold at Mc C.
- at least one KC-135 should be spotted at Mc C.
- any locals can complement this list with Burger Kings to be spotted before touching down?
