When Pilots Make Mistakes
In Episode #355 of Aviation News Talk, Max Trescott and I discussed pilot decision-making behind the wrong runway landing of an American Eagle Embraer 170 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) in late September. A few extenuating circumstances mean the NTSB should also consider ATC’s role in that incident. I also added some historical context to Max’s Episode #353, which focused on how pilots troubleshoot system failures.
Sometimes, pilots make bad decisions.
Thanks, Rob Mark

I worked at Boeing over 25 years as a final assy. tech. and flight line mech. And seems like one of their latest problems is there escape hatches? And in my opinion their hatches should be like an executive jet , that the door automatically goes inside , a couple of inches , then rolls up, inside!
