If you believe you could never land at the wrong airport you WILL be able to land at the wrong airport.

Loud, I agree...and don't forget, really cramped for space on the upper deck.
Slow?...not quite...I believe (and I only flew it once before I went to the light twin) it is a .82 mach airplane...certainly slower than others (744/-8, 777, Citation X, etc), but still faster than most airliners. It is a matter of perspective, right?!! Well, he asked how it differed from a regular -400. |
What ever happened to getting all the facts before casting the first stone...

Looking at the approach plate for RNAV GPS 19L into McConnell, I noticed that the IF/IAF, WITBA, calls for 4000ft MSL and is about 8 miles from and 2600ft AGL above Col Jabara. The airport lines up for almost a perfect 300ft/mile approach to a 6000x100ft runway that is proportionally the same as a 12000x200ft runway (19L is actually 12,000X150, but signage and lighting for 300ft wide). I can see how its possible that they could get sucked in to seeing that field and just breaking off the RNAV approach and landing visually.
The mind is a terrible thing.....:eek: |

Not hard. You land. Can happen to anyone.
People (including innocent people on the ground), equipment (an awfully expensive airplane), facilities (are they lucky they didn't break through the asphalt?)? Questionable airmanship/judgement, insurance. Tons more ... This is a HUGE DEAL! You're screwing with us ... right :confused: |

You don't really think that Atlas and the FAA are going to take the "Can happen to anyone" approach to this ... do you? I'm not sure you could explain this one in an ACTUAL EMERGENCY.
