The one time I nearly did it we planned to land at X, lots of considerations for X and then at the last minute changed to destination Y a few miles away, rush rush slightly fatigued. Outbound lots of changes and information. Brain still geared to landing on X. Made approach to X. Both me and P2 convinced we were OK until HLO......er aren't you coming to us at Y you seem to approaching X. Opps!

That's the kind of thing that happens when repetition, dynamics, fatigue and change management conspire to shaft you.

The crew will have had something conspire to screw them up one way or the other.

No doubt the desk jockeys will get their pound of leash out of the crew.

What the f***k happened to the no blame culture in offshore operations?
