Narrative:
Jin Air flight LJ312, a Boeing 737-800, was cleared to land on runway 18R at Busan-Gimhae International Airport (PUS) but landed on runway 18L instead.

Aircraft approaching runways 18L or 18R at Busan Airport navigate to a Missed Approach Point located west of the runways. From there pilots execute a circling maneuver to align with the landing runway. Pilots should follow or stay inside the lead-in lights to remain south of the Namhae expressway for noise abatement. The aircraft should be lined up for landing at a distance of 0.8 nm or 1.1 nm from the threshold of runway 18L, 18R respectively.
