Narrative:

We inadvertently landed at a controled airport we mistook for the intended uncontrolled airport. We made all appropriate calls on unicom for zephyr-hills unicom (122.8). We actually landed at lakeland with no incident other than having to taxi on the ground. One aircraft had to maneuver with us. When we determined where we were we called ground and proceeded normally. Contributing factors: wrong VOR frequency was dialed in. This was probably caused by pilots having flown 50 hours in previous 7 days.

Title: BE90 FLC ON VFR FLT PLAN SELECT WRONG FREQ ON VOR AND PERFORM AN UNAUTH PENETRATION OF CLASS B AND CLASS D AIRSPACE. AFTER DOING SO THEY ALSO PERFORM A WRONG ARPT APCH, UNAUTH LNDG AND EXPERIENCE A GND CONFLICT. NORAC TFC.

Narrative: WE INADVERTENTLY LANDED AT A CTLED ARPT WE MISTOOK FOR THE INTENDED UNCTLED ARPT. WE MADE ALL APPROPRIATE CALLS ON UNICOM FOR ZEPHYR-HILLS UNICOM (122.8). WE ACTUALLY LANDED AT LAKELAND WITH NO INCIDENT OTHER THAN HAVING TO TAXI ON THE GND. ONE ACFT HAD TO MANEUVER WITH US. WHEN WE DETERMINED WHERE WE WERE WE CALLED GND AND PROCEEDED NORMALLY. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: WRONG VOR FREQ WAS DIALED IN. THIS WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY PLTS HAVING FLOWN 50 HRS IN PREVIOUS 7 DAYS.
