NWA now in search of new pilots...
Lets see... RAP is south of the Interstate.. and SE of the City... RCA is North of the Interstate.. and NE of the City.. RAP is 14-32, 8700x150 RCA is 13-31, 13,500x300 RAP has a cross wind runway.. near the north end RCA does not.. RAP, all terminals are west of the airport and centrally located RCA, the MAIN RAMP is east of the airport.. with what looks like a small town that is the air base BT "Richard Kaplan" wrote in message s.com... http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/0....ap/index.html -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/0....ap/index.html I seem to remember an incident of a commercial flight landing at Amman, Jordan instead of Tel Aviv, Israel, which is a pretty serious snafu. Am I remembering right? I remember thinking that the crew had to have been thouroughly unfamiliar with the area, since the Tel Aviv airport is just a few miles from the Mediterranean coast and Amman is in a desert landscape 60 or so miles inland. I once heard of a GA pilot almost mistaking Beirut for Haifa (which would be an even worse mistake), but at least they're both near the sea. |

NWA has an excuse though because they'll just print a big write up in
their magazine saying that there were GA planes in the way and that made them have to land at the AFB and that all those pesky GA planes should be banned.

I would like to know what the controller at Ellison Approach was doing instead of monitoring his/her scope and what the tower controller at Rapid City was doing when he/she didn't see the aircraft as it called inbound. |

It seems to be the major "thought curve" of the MBA schools, right after "bean counting", is "excuse making". |

Judging from the experience of my wife and sister, both of whom have MBA or MTS degrees, this is not taught. As far as I can tell from my own experience, it's either a natural talent some people have, or it comes as on-the-job training. George Patterson None of us is as dumb as all of us. |

It's possible that ATC had the wrong destination listed for the aircraft. I was vectored onto the wrong final approach course on an arrival into the Dayton, OH area one time. ATC thought I was going to a different airport than where I actually was. Of course, in my situation, when the vector took me away from the localizer I was supposed to be intercepting, I pointed that out to ATC and we straightened everything out. ATC made a mistake, but it surely would have been my fault if I'd landed at the wrong airport. The pilot is the one responsible for making sure the airplane goes where it's supposed to, not ATC.

[...] As far as I can tell from my own experience, it's either a natural talent some people have, or it comes as on-the-job training. It's a cultural fact, at least in the US (and probably lots of other places). It's never your fault...there's always an excuse in which someone else is to blame. In other words, it's a "natural" (culturally taught) talent most people have. Pete |
