Can a 737 land on a 3700 ft long runway?

Evidently they can........Can it take off?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Man I'm glad everybody is safe and the plane seems intact. At just over 3700' hope they can take off safely in next couple of days.

I have gone in during the daytime. ILS to the west, but I just remember doing visuals to the east. There might have been a RNAV. Always dodging little airplanes from that little airport.

So, what do the pilots tell the pax if they land at the wrong airport?

 

[WSurf]

Blame it on 117

It still amazes me that this keeps happening in a world with GPS. They're lucky nobody was hurt.

Wikipedia already updated itself with the incident for college of the Ozarks airport. That's fast

Blame it on 117

Did they certify Fit For Duty? Then no problem.

So does the CA call the Union first, then the CP?

So, what do the pilots tell the pax if they land at the wrong airport?

"We apologize for this inconvenience."

 

[Capn Butthead]

The passengers new something was wrong when they didn't have to wait for a gate for 30 minutes

"Don't worry folks I was an F-16 pilot in the Air Force, your in good hands!

 

[Erlanger]

The news is reporting the flight attendants handed out peanuts to every passenger after the landing though.

Well played sir!

So, what do the pilots tell the pax if they land at the wrong airport?

The news was reporting that the pilots were "repeatedly" apologizing for the inconvenience.
