The Ckb based silver captain was a former biz ex and eagle pilot for almost 20 years. Silver planes have an fms and those airports look Nothing alike. Wasn't a former Colgan, but wow.

Silver pilots, are you required to tune the relevant navaid for a visual approach?

Mistakes will be made, hopefully these guys (and the rest of us) will learn from it and move on.

At night they're quite similar. Especially with Fairmont being on the LOC for 21 into CKB. Curious if they have the performance to get off a 3,200ft runway in the summer (go at night maybe?)

Not just 200hr pilots, this has happened to experienced crews as well.

Not even close. They don't even face the same heading. One has different markings and a damn river at the end. Ckb has a vor on the field. Mistakes will be made, I may make the next one. But these two airports are nothing alike.

Honest question. IDK what's in their manuals. We are required to tune a navaid.

I thought it was an FAA requirement, regardless of the wx, i.e. if you're cleared to land and the runway has an ILS, it's gotta be tuned. Time to dig out the FAR.
