201. Why Are Wrong-Airport Landings Still Happening?
About this episode
The episode discusses the reasons behind wrong-airport landings and how pilots can improve their safety practices.
Dan Boedigheimer from Advanced Aircrew Academy joins Dylan and Max to break down why wrong-airport and wrong-surface landings still happen, and what professional pilots can do to stay ahead of them. For Part 91 and bizav crews especially, it's a practical discussion on building better habits when nobody is spoon-feeding you the safety data. They get into visual approach traps, pilot monitoring duties, stabilized approach discipline, workload, fatigue, and what actually makes recurrent safety training stick.
