Wrong destination airport
« on: March 06, 2020, 01:57:01 PM »
Hi Norm, hi all
following scenario:
MFC0038 leg Half Moon Bay to Monterey.
Had a break at stopover San Carlos and supper with my very best with a bottle of spanish Tinto 14 vol %. Resumed the flight to Monterey by dusk, good weather conditions and touch down by mistake at KWVI Watsonville Mun and closed the flight in the cigarbox  >:(. The enroute flight was not saved.
The PIREP has been sent with KWVI as destination.
What to do?
-Can I resume the flight out of cigarbox ;)?
-Do I have to run the flight one more time :'(?
-Can I fill the hops from Watsonville to Monterey by a charter flight and load the next MFC flight regulary  ::)?

lol (great pic Thomas!!)

Tour MFC0039 - Leg 13 (Single flight # MFCT00499-6A1).
VFR Half Moon Bay (KHAF) Stop at San Carlos Airport (KSQL) to Monterey Peninsula (KMRY).

You landed at KWVI with under a -160.00 fpm landing rate on the 4500' runway so I'm sure that you could have easily done that on the much bigger and wider runway at KWRY which is 7175 ft. So pass.

Ok so you landed at KWVI instead of KMRY.. (KWVI is only 21nm away from KMRY) hence the system accepted without questioning your location. (Must have been too much of that tainted Tinto! during supper that threw you off as far as the correct location.lol)

No problem Dr.  If you want to you can re-fly as that single flight in cigar box - flight number is MFCT00499-6A1. Or you could do a charter flight from KWVI to KMRY.. then start leg 14.

Or simply carry on in the tour starting at KMRY since it is a "gimme" since you one of the top veteran captains here at MFC! (We try to look after our pilots!) lol
