How do hit a taxiway light in a single engine plane and not know it!?
ReplyDeleteWho says the pilot didn't know it? Plan-continuation bias can be pretty strong and there are plenty of cases where pilots avoid admitting to a known mistake and continue the mission, especially if all other indications look normal.
