Safety investigators stated pilot fatigue was a factor why a FedEx plane landed on the wrong runway after an overnight cargo flight last year. The National Transportation Safety Board said the pilots failed to recognize cues that they were heading for the wrong runway because of fatigue, the early-morning timing and an increased workload.
Petter Hörnfeldt, better known to his followers as the Mentour Pilot, recently posted about the incident in a video also containing some generally good information about fatigue risk in aviation. Enjoy!
