Narrative:

Approach cleared us to land on runway 31 at crp about 25 mi out. On a left downwind tower cleared us to land on runway 35. The captain apparently did not hear this clearance and landed on runway 31. Contributing factors: the captain flew a very tight left base, so it was difficult until very late to tell which runway he had planned to land on. He had the G/south information for runway 35 displayed for G/south information for runway 31 because it did not have an ILS. Numerous light aircraft in the pattern and attempting to enter the pattern was distracting the controller, the captain and first officer for traffic watch. First officer callouts of airspeed, altitude and confign changes redirected my attention inside the cockpit during the final turn. Coupled with a steep bank angle confused my orientation to the runway layout and while runway we would roll out on.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR MLG WRONG RWY LNDG AT CRP.

Narrative: APCH CLRED US TO LAND ON RWY 31 AT CRP ABOUT 25 MI OUT. ON A LEFT DOWNWIND TWR CLRED US TO LAND ON RWY 35. THE CAPT APPARENTLY DID NOT HEAR THIS CLRNC AND LANDED ON RWY 31. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: THE CAPT FLEW A VERY TIGHT LEFT BASE, SO IT WAS DIFFICULT UNTIL VERY LATE TO TELL WHICH RWY HE HAD PLANNED TO LAND ON. HE HAD THE G/S INFO FOR RWY 35 DISPLAYED FOR G/S INFO FOR RWY 31 BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE AN ILS. NUMEROUS LIGHT ACFT IN THE PATTERN AND ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE PATTERN WAS DISTRACTING THE CTLR, THE CAPT AND F/O FOR TFC WATCH. F/O CALLOUTS OF AIRSPD, ALT AND CONFIGN CHANGES REDIRECTED MY ATTN INSIDE THE COCKPIT DURING THE FINAL TURN. COUPLED WITH A STEEP BANK ANGLE CONFUSED MY ORIENTATION TO THE RWY LAYOUT AND WHILE RWY WE WOULD ROLL OUT ON.
