We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment! In most cases it's nothing! no big deal just slap each others wrists in other cases that mistake can be very serious or even fatal
Private jets or CAT EASA or FAA we all do it
I remember that Ryanair operated 737 landing at the disused military airfield next to Londonderry an airfield I flew to a lot at that time.
How could both Crew on a RyanAir operated 737 mistake the two airfields ?
Having made an identification mistake to then carry on to a landing on a disused runway with two crew and loads of visual cues was hard to get my head around! But it happened. If it had been a private jet there would be cries of cowboy pilots
All the passengers had to be bussed out and across to the active airport and the aircraft removed empty after the runway had been cleaned and inspected
