Brian is a little one-sided, you can generally tell what he'll say next. I like Stewie's unpredictability.He's a sick little bastard.Did you look up Stewie Griffin?
I like Brian much better and feel bad for his romantic failures toward Lois...

But we'll give it six, just to make sure we're covered when Evan hears about this.Four minutes, folks. That's the magic number, apparently. Which is up from one minute.
Gotta love the ironing!

Didn't take much to shut him up, did it? At least in this particular case...

As far as we know -and as Gabriel jokingly hinted over there-, they could have been simply scratching their heads/screaming in terror for 6 minutes and 4 seconds, before initiating a descent without any regard for procedure .But we'll give it six, just to make sure we're covered when Evan hears about this.Four minutes, folks. That's the magic number, apparently. Which is up from one minute.

Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?
That depends. Are you landing at the wrong airport and talking to the wrong airport's tower, or landing at the wrong airport and talking to a different tower and getting clearance for a runway other than the one you're actually using, which might have traffic on it?From all the dangers of flying, landing at the wrong airport is among the ones that concerns me the least, because it happens very seldom, and because chances are that you will walk away from such a landing (perhaps after another short hop and another landing at the intended destination).
Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?
That's absolutely a valid concern... although in VFR conditions and even sometimes in IFR you're supposed to be able to "see and avoid" traffic on the runway. And likewise with traffic on the ground avoiding an incoming aircraft - but there is definitely potential there for a bad outcome.

Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?
Are there procedures to make sure one is landing at the intended airport?

Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?
...AND the Southwest Airlines guys at the Branson "Downtown" airport was a near total disaster...landing on a 3738 ft runway when you 'planned' for 7000 ft, with a steep drop off and coming to a stop on the piano keys and maybe even a tiny bit of terrain thrown in on approach.That depends. Are you landing at the wrong airport and talking to the wrong airport's tower, or landing at the wrong airport and talking to a different tower and getting clearance for a runway other than the one you're actually using, which might have traffic on it?From all the dangers of flying, landing at the wrong airport is among the ones that concerns me the least, because it happens very seldom, and because chances are that you will walk away from such a landing (perhaps after another short hop and another landing at the intended destination).
Sure, it's not the biggest thing to be scared of, but it's textbook Swiss cheese...I'll agree with Evan "we" should not be doing that kind of thing,..you hear me Flyboy....
Indeed, my over-active imagination wants to boldly spout new procedures since I'm a long time forumite....always always always always use 'positive electronic guidance and confirmation' to the correct runway?...(at least look at the expletive magenta line!).
It's OK, I trust Flyboy and Nav...but there are idiots out there not too much smarter than me that drive airplanes too...and then there's the old fashioned, honest brain fart.

Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?
In general it is b) and in general it happens in good VFR conditions when the pilots are relying more in the view out the window than in the magenta line. In these conditions typically landing planes can see conflicts on the ground and departing planes can scan the final for traffic.That depends. Are you a) landing at the wrong airport and talking to the wrong airport's tower, or b) landing at the wrong airport and talking to a different tower and getting clearance for a runway other than the one you're actually using, which might have traffic on it?From all the dangers of flying, landing at the wrong airport is among the ones that concerns me the least, because it happens very seldom, and because chances are that you will walk away from such a landing (perhaps after another short hop and another landing at the intended destination).
How many death were there in the last 10 years for landing in the wrong runway/airport?
I foresee that people will die for wrong take-off speed/weight/length/config/runway than fro landing on the wrong runway.
Oh, wait, we already have deaths for wrong take-off speed/weight/length/config/runway.

Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?
Thank you, ROG.
If I may emulate Evan for a moment, I do like this procedure for this particular model of Airbus:
Other, type-specific procedures may be needed for different aircraft.....always always always always use 'positive electronic guidance and confirmation' to the correct runway...
Just a parlour-talking thought.
