Final Report B738 (HL8052) vicinity Hyakuri Japan, 22 August 2019
On 22 August 2019, a Boeing 737-800 positioning visually from downwind after accepting clearance to make an approach to and landing on runway 03L at Hyakuri instead lined up on temporarily closed runway 03R and did not commence a go around until around 100 feet agl after seeing a vehicle on the runway and the painted runway threshold identification. The Investigation concluded that the event was solely attributable to the individually poor performance of both the Captain and the First Officer, the latter in respect of a failure to monitor and correct the runway identification error made by the Captain.
