Pre-takeoff checklist
I heard about this story but didn't believe it could be true. This student pilot mistook a residential tree-lined street for the airport which was just 1.5 miles away. How is this even possible? If you look at the street scene photos in the Kathryn's report you will see just how large and close to the street the trees were. It's an incredible story.
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the Kathryn's report for the pilot's comments. Classic!
