Narrative:

Flight was for personal transportation of the 2 pilots on board. Although not required by the aircraft or the operation, the pilots were operating on the crew concept utilizing CRM. Reporter here was the PF. Nearing MDA, in moderate turbulence, windshear, and blowing dust, the PNF called 'runway in sight, turn 260 degrees.' as PF, I complied and immediately saw the runway, although it was partially obscured by blowing sand. At one time I totally lost sight of the approach end, so I did not see the numbers. After landing, the tower said we had landed on runway 26R rather than runway 26L. Visibility was such that we never saw runway 26L.

Title: PLT OF AN SMT TWIN TEMPORARILY LOST SIGHT OF THE RWY ENVIRONMENT AFTER EXECUTING A VOR APCH RESULTING IN LNDG ON THE WRONG PARALLEL RWY.

Narrative: FLT WAS FOR PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION OF THE 2 PLTS ON BOARD. ALTHOUGH NOT REQUIRED BY THE ACFT OR THE OP, THE PLTS WERE OPERATING ON THE CREW CONCEPT UTILIZING CRM. RPTR HERE WAS THE PF. NEARING MDA, IN MODERATE TURB, WINDSHEAR, AND BLOWING DUST, THE PNF CALLED 'RWY IN SIGHT, TURN 260 DEGS.' AS PF, I COMPLIED AND IMMEDIATELY SAW THE RWY, ALTHOUGH IT WAS PARTIALLY OBSCURED BY BLOWING SAND. AT ONE TIME I TOTALLY LOST SIGHT OF THE APCH END, SO I DID NOT SEE THE NUMBERS. AFTER LNDG, THE TWR SAID WE HAD LANDED ON RWY 26R RATHER THAN RWY 26L. VISIBILITY WAS SUCH THAT WE NEVER SAW RWY 26L.
