This is the second incident like this.


Nope. Third, that I’ve heard of. Nearly hit another plane in OC, and crashed onto a golf course in Santa Monica.

The off-airport landing on the golf course was mechanical failure, not pilot error. I don't count that.

Landing on taxiway C instead of 20L and crossing the active W/O permission are much more egregious and indicative of him approaching the end of his time as a certificated pilot.
