Narrative:

I was flying from bhm to cgf on IFR. WX was hazy, visibility was 3-5 mi. ZOB was giving me radar vectors for the ILS 23 and asked me to report airport. After their transmission, I looked down and saw runway 23. They gave me the tower frequency and said goodbye. I then called cgf tower and was cleared to land runway 23. After my rollout is when I realized I was at the wrong airport (landed at lost nations on runway 23). I called lost nations tower and they said this happens often and gave me the ok to depart runway 23 for cgf. I made this mistake by not looking at my instruments, my navigation equipment, ADF and my HSI was all plugged into cgf. But when I looked out the window and saw runway 23, I didn't look inside again, except for airspeed and gump. I fly more than 350 hours per yr and something like this should not have happened -- there is no good excuse.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: SMA LANDS WRONG ARPT.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING FROM BHM TO CGF ON IFR. WX WAS HAZY, VISIBILITY WAS 3-5 MI. ZOB WAS GIVING ME RADAR VECTORS FOR THE ILS 23 AND ASKED ME TO RPT ARPT. AFTER THEIR XMISSION, I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW RWY 23. THEY GAVE ME THE TWR FREQ AND SAID GOODBYE. I THEN CALLED CGF TWR AND WAS CLRED TO LAND RWY 23. AFTER MY ROLLOUT IS WHEN I REALIZED I WAS AT THE WRONG ARPT (LANDED AT LOST NATIONS ON RWY 23). I CALLED LOST NATIONS TWR AND THEY SAID THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND GAVE ME THE OK TO DEPART RWY 23 FOR CGF. I MADE THIS MISTAKE BY NOT LOOKING AT MY INSTS, MY NAV EQUIP, ADF AND MY HSI WAS ALL PLUGGED INTO CGF. BUT WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW RWY 23, I DIDN'T LOOK INSIDE AGAIN, EXCEPT FOR AIRSPD AND GUMP. I FLY MORE THAN 350 HRS PER YR AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED -- THERE IS NO GOOD EXCUSE.
