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
