November 22, 201312 yr Perhaps we need the GPS to scream audio warnings, of..... you're about to be rediculed and fired, instead of you're about to die by hitting terrain. Make it flash red, too!The **** with VORs and a mag compass... I wonder if the plane was equipped with RAAS would it had warned them? Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
November 22, 201312 yr I tried it last night in FS9. The ILS to 19R at McConnell takes you almost directly over 18 at Jabala. Yeah, they're pros and they're not supposed to make that kind of mistake, but if you were unfamiliar with the area it wouldn't be that hard to mistake KAAO as your destination.

November 25, 201312 yr Well, that assumes nothing like that has happened prior in their career; or something else. How many occurrences like this can someone go through before enough damage is done or you say enough is enough because it's only 1 step away from a major accident? When you're flying around an aircraft and parts worth as much money as that you can't afford to be giving second chances. You most certainly can. It's far far better for people to be able to admit their mistakes so you can fix the system, rather then have people try to sweep things under the carpet because they're afraid they won't be able to make next month's mortgage payment otherwise. Also people are far more likely to make mistakes if they are stressed about being punished for making mistakes. Punishing pilots for making mistakes just creates convenient scapegoats and does very little to actually fix problems. John-Alan Pascoe
