Narrative:

Captain and I were to fly a flight. At last second, changes were made which required additional planning. In an effort to make up lost time we rushed our operating procedures. We were IMC and told to descend and report the airport in sight. We saw what we believed to be the airport at 12 O'clock and 8 mi. We set up for a straight-in approach and told to contact the tower. We contacted the tower and they cleared us to land. Upon touchdown, we realized that we were at the wrong airport. We were still in radio contact with the tower and advised them of our intentions. The airports both have runway 9/27 and are aligned within 5 mi. The airport we landed at was uncontrolled and there were no traffic conflicts. We realized that we need to maintain better situational awareness to avoid this from happening again.

Title: LANDED AT WRONG ARPT.

Narrative: CAPT AND I WERE TO FLY A FLT. AT LAST SECOND, CHANGES WERE MADE WHICH REQUIRED ADDITIONAL PLANNING. IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE UP LOST TIME WE RUSHED OUR OPERATING PROCS. WE WERE IMC AND TOLD TO DSND AND RPT THE ARPT IN SIGHT. WE SAW WHAT WE BELIEVED TO BE THE ARPT AT 12 O'CLOCK AND 8 MI. WE SET UP FOR A STRAIGHT-IN APCH AND TOLD TO CONTACT THE TWR. WE CONTACTED THE TWR AND THEY CLRED US TO LAND. UPON TOUCHDOWN, WE REALIZED THAT WE WERE AT THE WRONG ARPT. WE WERE STILL IN RADIO CONTACT WITH THE TWR AND ADVISED THEM OF OUR INTENTIONS. THE ARPTS BOTH HAVE RWY 9/27 AND ARE ALIGNED WITHIN 5 MI. THE ARPT WE LANDED AT WAS UNCTLED AND THERE WERE NO TFC CONFLICTS. WE REALIZED THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
