Yeah, you're right about this. Frankly, I was getting frustrated. Quite the contrary, I am curious to see how this happened actually. Identifying the wrong airport, lining up to the wrong runway(I have done this) or a parallel taxi way(hmm, white lights vs blue lights... ), these are mistakes, an "oops" if you will. Actually touching pavement where you're not supposed to be is leaving me scratching my head and is by no means an "oops" anymore to me.
I don't disagree that it shouldn't have happened. But it DID. So the questions "why" must be investigated, lapse in training, fatigue, poor SA, etc..... Mistakes happen, it should be our goal as pilots to find out why in an attempt to prevent these incidents in the future.
