Narrative:

This problem arose when a crew was rushed into an instrument approach west/O sufficient time to prepare. While plting an small transport aircraft into ykz we were forced to make 2 missed approachs there due to WX. On the second go around, we decided to go to buffalo and wait it out. We then thought to ask toronto if they would let us land at ykz even though we had no landing reservation. He said yes and began vectoring us around to runway 6L. We now found ourselves only mins away from an ILS approach and the airplane was still in the takeoff confign. During this short time of maneuvering around, finding approach plates, calculating approach speeds, completing checklists and working controllers, we managed to set up runway 6R rather than runway 6L. We went through the runway 6L localizer and conflicted with runway 6R. My point is to be aware of all facets of the approach system and know how much of it you can handle. I've been doing approachs for many yrs and suddenly I'm landing on the wrong runway. X-chk all your data and confirm any doubt with the controller. If things don't begin right they won't end right.

Title: DIVERTED TO ARPT WITHIN 10 MILES RESULTING IN LIMITED TIME TO PREPARE FOR APCH.

Narrative: THIS PROB AROSE WHEN A CREW WAS RUSHED INTO AN INSTRUMENT APCH W/O SUFFICIENT TIME TO PREPARE. WHILE PLTING AN SMT ACFT INTO YKZ WE WERE FORCED TO MAKE 2 MISSED APCHS THERE DUE TO WX. ON THE SEC GO AROUND, WE DECIDED TO GO TO BUFFALO AND WAIT IT OUT. WE THEN THOUGHT TO ASK TORONTO IF THEY WOULD LET US LAND AT YKZ EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NO LNDG RESERVATION. HE SAID YES AND BEGAN VECTORING US AROUND TO RWY 6L. WE NOW FOUND OURSELVES ONLY MINS AWAY FROM AN ILS APCH AND THE AIRPLANE WAS STILL IN THE TKOF CONFIGN. DURING THIS SHORT TIME OF MANEUVERING AROUND, FINDING APCH PLATES, CALCULATING APCH SPDS, COMPLETING CHKLISTS AND WORKING CTLRS, WE MANAGED TO SET UP RWY 6R RATHER THAN RWY 6L. WE WENT THROUGH THE RWY 6L LOC AND CONFLICTED WITH RWY 6R. MY POINT IS TO BE AWARE OF ALL FACETS OF THE APCH SYS AND KNOW HOW MUCH OF IT YOU CAN HANDLE. I'VE BEEN DOING APCHS FOR MANY YRS AND SUDDENLY I'M LNDG ON THE WRONG RWY. X-CHK ALL YOUR DATA AND CONFIRM ANY DOUBT WITH THE CTLR. IF THINGS DON'T BEGIN R THEY WON'T END R.
