CRJ crash at KLEX:
Some guy wrote:
Isn't checking the heading indicator to to make sure you're on the right runway was a standard checkoff list type of a thing? Have you never been on a commercial aircraft where the engines are spooling up as the aircraft turns onto the runway? Do you really think they have cross-checked with the compass at that point?
