Yes it can happen, and it does happen. But why does it happen when there are two fully qualfied airmen, and sometimes three or four in the cockpit or a modern day jet with convential avionics to back up the automation?

Plus one. I agree with all of JNS's suggestions. I realize how easy it would be to do, and work darn hard to not do it. As DC8 correctly pointed out, we know what went wrong - the question is WHY did it go wrong.

Agreed.

jns has great pointers on threat/error management, though his presentation (as usual) is not exactly the best... hence the long running congac and bread sticks joke at his expense.

Hey moderators:

Ummm...could I get the coordinates for the thread with the fat jokes? I mistakingly landed here. It looked like the right thread. The font and color is the same. The proportions of pompous posters is similar. It is night. I'm a fatigued cargo guy. I was hoping to unload a post here to lighten my load and get over to the other one. If I do it quickly, maybe no one will notice. Never mind, someone read it. Should I do the ASAP here or in the other thread?

That's been done also. Some got stopped and some didn't.

The Jabara airfield manager said it has happened over 20 times in the last ten years, both military and civilian.
