The aircraft was approaching VOR, located at the Tbilisi International a/p, from northwest. The aircraft was cleared for an ILS app on rwy 31L, with L/H procedure. When the aircraft came below the clouds, the pilot requested a visual app for rwy 31L and ATC confirmed. 3 NM ahead of rwy 31L, a little bit right of centre line, is where a closed military a/p is located. The pilot confused this military a/p with the Tiflis a/p and landed on it. When he realized it, he took off again and flew to Tbilisi International.
