Human Factors
IFR flight plan (ferry leg) from MIA-OPF for a live passenger leg from OPF. Normal takeoff from MIA enroute to OPF. Radar Vectors after take off. PIC called field in sight; SIC looks up and sees airport; acknowledges field in sight. SIC heads down getting ATIS; programming FMS; setting frequencies and courses. SIC announces field in sight per direction from PIC. Cleared visual approach to OPF from Miami Departure; switch to Tower frequency. Get airplane configured for landing; flaps; gear...Cleared for visual approach RWY 9L OPF from OPF tower. Make right hand base for landing; then when turning final; SIC looks up. Something doesn't seem right; at the same time Tower calls and tells us we are at the wrong airport. Turn right; climb to 2;000 feet and contact Miami Departure. Receive vectors to OPF; land without incident. ILS frequency for 9L at OPF set in navigation aid. Heavy work load for SIC in short time frame. PIC in too much of a rush. SIC-too much time inside. Future prevention: Request vectors for a 3 mile final to active runway.
