      KSNA is a very difficult Charlie airspace to fly into. You have to get a hold of So-cal, then they hand you off to the tower. The tower talks really fast and there is a lot of traffic. Yes and an airliner next to you landing on the parallel runway. It's crazy busy. It seems more like a Bravo. Sometimes the bran can just get over loaded and yes he landed on Charlie but he did own up to it. He was task saturated.

Stirling Moss?" and of course the driver IS Stirling Moss. I can't remember what the ad was for.

      Swing around to the approach on Google Earth; if you're thinking "I need to land on the long straight thing to the left of the big runway," well, Charlie kinda qualifies. I could see it being an easy mistake to make if you're focused on everything except the paint on the pavement. (And trust me, if you're landing parallel to and behind an airplane several times the size of yours, you're way more focused on where that wake turbulence is going to hit than on the ground art.)

    A number of years ago I was a passenger on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Newark. I was in the left-most seat in the row (seat A, right?). We were within 50 feet of touching down, and I could see a row of hangars out the window, when suddenly the pilot puts on full throttle, we climb rapidly, and we do a go around. When we came back down and landed those hangars were maybe 200 feet further away and there was a taxiway between us. I’m pretty dang sure the pilot nearly landed on that taxiway.

      It's one of the tenets of command/leadership and those under being commanded/lead. If you have a central stooge that puts yes people around him, or worse, holds absolute power without so much a single allowance for challenge, you end up with disasters, eventually or daily.
      When we all work together, and the leader's greatest feature, is the ability to lead, listening to every expert and coming up with a course correction in front of dangers unseen to him, that's when we all win. It's a gosh darned shame that we don't teach that in schools, more busy teaching antiquated notions and individuality without any sort of backup (in essence, how to be good little worker drones, not too intelligent to dissent, not too stupid to not do the tasks of those who think themselves above everyone else).

    As a captain in an Airbus 320 for many years, I once was on the radio, just after touchdown. I reported 'runway vacated' and got no answer. The twr controller was a lady. I tried to call her again, also with no result. Then I said to my copilot: "she's ignoring me, just like my wife". A few seconds later, I realized my ptt was stuck and that was the reason I wasn't hearing her. The ptt in the 320 is like a pistol trigger, so I pushed it forward with my finger, recovering communication. When I called again and she answered, she was laughing, as well as other voices in the tower. My copilot too. Everything ended in good mood comments (and some sorrys by me). But I was very thankful that I had done a humorous comment but not an offensive one. Because, when we feel in the privacy of the cockpit with just another pilot, sometimes we do say ugly things.

    From what I understand, hearing “I have a phone number for you to call” from ATC doesn’t necessarily mean that the pilot is in trouble. It’s more of a “Hey, call me, and we’ll talk together about what caused this incident.” I was actually listening in on my handheld transceiver to ATC at my local airport, KUES, and the Tower asked a pilot to call them. The only reason they wanted the pilot to call in that case was because he mentioned on the radio that he saw something on the taxiway. It’s better to have a prolonged discussion on the phone rather than jamming up the radio.

Coincidentally, when I triggered what we thought were the lights at rock hill, they turned on the runway lights for charlotte. It was like God had turned on the sun. We were locked in an FAA conference room a few weeks later to "review" what had happened. And yep, we were locked in the conference room. I knew we were going the wrong way.

    Harrison Ford has my immense respect and admiration. He set a example of how WE ALL need to behave when we make a mistake, with humility, honesty and humanity. My esteem for Harrison Ford has grown immensely after hearing his polite and humble no-excuses attitude with ATC. He did not sink to “big shotism”, and did not try to use his fame, wealth or power to weasel out of this situation. It is obvious that he immediately understood the potential disaster that could have happened. As Kelsey said; “He took it like a man.” There is zero room for prima donnas or excuse makers when it comes to aviation. Harrison, my hat is off to you my man.

    Because I write TAFs, I got to ride jump seat for commercial familiarization flights (before 9/11 of course). I’ll never forget the time a captain pre-briefed me (a completely inexperienced guest) to speak out if I saw anything that didn’t look right. I realize now many years later that this is right in line with CRM training he probably had.

It was in a Medical building and he looked sick as hell. I was the only one on the elevator that recognized him, and he knew I did (I may have been staring). I just smiled at him (because he looked sick as hell) and he smiled back and winked at me. Ground floor he got in an old Ford pickup and drove away.

    Kelsey, you ROCK! Like the Captain you talked about and the incident with landing without clearance, you said it right. I'm not a pilot, but I'm a plane history junkie. I was a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy for more than 20 years and have almost 12 years of sea duty. Driving ships is a lot like what you describe in your awesome aviation videos. Your Captain on that flight was probably a military pilot, maybe even a graduate of Annapolis (as I am) or USAFA (great school, I took a tour while in high school). At the end of the day, the Captain of a ship or plane has to account for what happened when anything goes wrong. Also, at the end of the day, if you didn't break major equipment or (even WORSE) kill people by your actions, it's all recoverable. Even the guy who took a NWA 727 in the air with over a hundred passengers WHILE THE ENTIRE FLIGHT CREW WAS DRUNK!!!!! didn't kill anyone on accaount of their flying and he got fired, then rehad, then reinstated and retired flying 747s. Bottom line is whether flying a plane or navigating a ship with 3K+ people (I served in to multipurpose amphibious assault ships, or LHDs, which are de facto aircraft carriers), every time I took the watch as Officer of the Deck (OOD), I knew that we were not hitting anything.
