Narrative:

While approaching mansfield (mfd) airport for landing, my student and I examined the diagram drawn on his VFR cross-country planning sheet to set up for a landing on the active 23. Due to poor cross-country planning (and my not double-checking his planning) my student incorrectly labeled his runways on his airport diagram. Consequently, we set up for a landing on runway 5 (his diagram labeled runways backwards), had to receive another clearance to land on 23. A landing was made without incident, however, the controller did ask us what our intentions were after it was obvious that we were not setting up for a landing on 23 as cleared. As a CFI, I should have looked over my student's planning more carefully.

Title: RELYING ON AN ARPT DIAGRAM INCORRECTLY DRAWN BY THE STUDENT, INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT ON CROSS COUNTRY FLT MAKE AN APCH TO THE WRONG RWY.

Narrative: WHILE APCHING MANSFIELD (MFD) ARPT FOR LNDG, MY STUDENT AND I EXAMINED THE DIAGRAM DRAWN ON HIS VFR CROSS-COUNTRY PLANNING SHEET TO SET UP FOR A LNDG ON THE ACTIVE 23. DUE TO POOR CROSS-COUNTRY PLANNING (AND MY NOT DOUBLE-CHECKING HIS PLANNING) MY STUDENT INCORRECTLY LABELED HIS RWYS ON HIS ARPT DIAGRAM. CONSEQUENTLY, WE SET UP FOR A LNDG ON RWY 5 (HIS DIAGRAM LABELED RWYS BACKWARDS), HAD TO RECEIVE ANOTHER CLRNC TO LAND ON 23. A LNDG WAS MADE WITHOUT INCIDENT, HOWEVER, THE CTLR DID ASK US WHAT OUR INTENTIONS WERE AFTER IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT WE WERE NOT SETTING UP FOR A LNDG ON 23 AS CLRED. AS A CFI, I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED OVER MY STUDENT'S PLANNING MORE CAREFULLY.
