[...]The other thing that bothers me is that *both* pilots were oblivious to being on the wrong runway. When I fly the Pilatus (private charter) the checklist requires us to set the heading bug on the runway - it's part of the line-up check. I'm sure Comair has a similar checklist to the one we use, and I'm amazed something like this could happen. If you pull onto the runway and set your bug to the runway you THINK you're on without verifying it against the compass or some other piece of gear, you haven't improved your safety one bit. OTOH, I'd be surprised if the Comair didn't have a number of additional checks to make, such as GPS, that should have exposed the error prior to rolling. Neil |
