snickering…..

aviatorhi..

You seem to have a bone to pick, or rather made quite an effort to "put down" other pilots, or their view points.
I don't believe anyone else in this forum believes that landing at the wrong airport is not a f#$^up. I think most of us, having been involved in this industry for as long as we have, know that whatever "fubar" of the day is, it can happen to us. To put yourself above such a mistake, is the kind of attitude that CRM was designed to prevent.
Yes, some good points were brought up. Runway lights, width, ramp, ect. That said, it happened. You can spend your free time "snickering", or you can maybe spend some time ( briefing an approach for example ), and include something that was said or learned here, to maybe keep a fellow pilot from making the same mistake.
