Narrative:

It was dusk and I was wearing prescription sunglasses. I had discovered on descent that I forgot my regular glasses. Corrective lenses are mandatory for distance on my medical. I discussed it with my copilot and agreed I would do the landing if I could see well enough, if not, he would do the landing. Approximately 9 mi out, we saw the runway, announced to approach we had it in sight and were cleared for the visual to runway 35R at apa. I had the ILS in as a back up but was strictly visual. I noticed on very short final, I was left of course on the ehsi, continued and landed. Taxiing off of the runway, tower asked if there was a reason we chose to land on runway 35L instead of runway 35R, which we had been cleared to land on. My copilot answered 'no' and tower said 'not a problem, just wondering.' I only saw the one runway and runway environment. The automatic landing system was not on for runway 35R. Afterwards, my copilot said he realized at 600 ft AGL we were lined up for the parallel runway and he, alone, decided to go on with the landing. He thought it was safer than the possible go around I might have chosen to make. This particular copilot has a history of not acting as part of a crew and I have requested many times to not fly with him because of this. I had actually refused to fly with him ever again, due to this behavior, but with our pilot shortage, the company was only able to comply with that for 3 months. Had he brought the discrepancy to my attention, I would not have landed on the wrong runway. Sidestep or go around would have been my actions.

Title: WRONG RWY APCH, RWY INCURSION ON LNDG BY THE PIC OF A HAWKER 800 AT APA, CO.

Narrative: IT WAS DUSK AND I WAS WEARING PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES. I HAD DISCOVERED ON DSCNT THAT I FORGOT MY REGULAR GLASSES. CORRECTIVE LENSES ARE MANDATORY FOR DISTANCE ON MY MEDICAL. I DISCUSSED IT WITH MY COPLT AND AGREED I WOULD DO THE LNDG IF I COULD SEE WELL ENOUGH, IF NOT, HE WOULD DO THE LNDG. APPROX 9 MI OUT, WE SAW THE RWY, ANNOUNCED TO APCH WE HAD IT IN SIGHT AND WERE CLRED FOR THE VISUAL TO RWY 35R AT APA. I HAD THE ILS IN AS A BACK UP BUT WAS STRICTLY VISUAL. I NOTICED ON VERY SHORT FINAL, I WAS L OF COURSE ON THE EHSI, CONTINUED AND LANDED. TAXIING OFF OF THE RWY, TWR ASKED IF THERE WAS A REASON WE CHOSE TO LAND ON RWY 35L INSTEAD OF RWY 35R, WHICH WE HAD BEEN CLRED TO LAND ON. MY COPLT ANSWERED 'NO' AND TWR SAID 'NOT A PROB, JUST WONDERING.' I ONLY SAW THE ONE RWY AND RWY ENVIRONMENT. THE AUTOMATIC LNDG SYS WAS NOT ON FOR RWY 35R. AFTERWARDS, MY COPLT SAID HE REALIZED AT 600 FT AGL WE WERE LINED UP FOR THE PARALLEL RWY AND HE, ALONE, DECIDED TO GO ON WITH THE LNDG. HE THOUGHT IT WAS SAFER THAN THE POSSIBLE GAR I MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN TO MAKE. THIS PARTICULAR COPLT HAS A HISTORY OF NOT ACTING AS PART OF A CREW AND I HAVE REQUESTED MANY TIMES TO NOT FLY WITH HIM BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAD ACTUALLY REFUSED TO FLY WITH HIM EVER AGAIN, DUE TO THIS BEHAVIOR, BUT WITH OUR PLT SHORTAGE, THE COMPANY WAS ONLY ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THAT FOR 3 MONTHS. HAD HE BROUGHT THE DISCREPANCY TO MY ATTN, I WOULD NOT HAVE LANDED ON THE WRONG RWY. SIDESTEP OR GAR WOULD HAVE BEEN MY ACTIONS.
