The aircraft was cleared for a visual approach on runway 17R. Oklahoma City Airport does indeed also have a runway 13, which is the direction the pilots were headed. However, given their distance from the airport and altitude, it’s not even logical that they were attempting to land on that runway.

It also keeps planes organized on the runway, but what is it exactly? Aviation taxiing is when an airplane or other aircraft with wheels rolls off, on, or along the runway at a slow, consistent speed. It uses a propulsion system comprising propellers or jet engines to navigate at a certain set speed limit.

The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. I mean, all jets I have flown are like that, but this is fairly sensitive to pitch, power, and flap configuration—all requiring lots of trimming. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.
