🚨 Mistaken Runways & Pilot Interview Prep: Lessons from Southwest 3278 & Comair 5191

In this episode, we tackle the dangers of mistaken runways for takeoff. We break down the Southwest Flight 3278 incident in Orlando, where the crew mistook a taxiway for a runway—leading to an aborted takeoff after a critical intervention from ATC. Then, we compare it to the tragic Comair Flight 5191 crash in Lexington, where a takeoff from a closed, unlit runway ended in disaster.What causes these errors, and what safeguards can prevent them? We explore real-world lessons from these cases. Plus, we continue our pilot interview prep series, offering key insights into what to expect in your interview, the most common questions, and how to stand out in the hiring process.📩 Connect with Us:🌐 Website: www.theblackboxaviationpodcast.com✉️ Email: [email protected]📸 Instagram: @the_black_box01🐦 X (Twitter): @the_black_box01📲 Text Line: 203-699-6792
