## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) A/C LANDED AT THE WRONG AIRPORT BY MISTAKE. THE FLIGHT DEPARTED ST. LOUIS (STL) ENROUTE TO HAYDEN/YAMPA VALLEY COUNTY (HDN) BUT LANDED AT CRAIG, CO(CAG). BOTH AIRPORTS HAVE A SINGLE RUNWAY. THE HAYDEN RUNWAY IS 10-28 (10,000 FT) AND CRAIG IS 07-25 (5,600) LOCATED THIRTEEN MILES APART. THIS WAS THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY FOR BOTH PILOTS. THE CREW WAS CLEARED FOR AN ILS 1O APPROACH TO HDN, BUT LANDED ON RUNWAY 07 AT CAG. ACCORDING TO WITNESSES THE A/C TOUCHED APPROX. ONE THIRD DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE A/C STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO  TURN AROUND ON THE NARROW TAXIWAY, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DEPARTED THE ASPHALT AND SANK INTO THE MUD. RECOVERY, CLEANUP, AND INSPECTION WERE SATISFACTORY PRIOR TO THE A/C DEPARTING THE NEXT DAY. TWO INSPECTORS FROM SLC FSDO WERE ON SCENE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
