Continental Airlines Flight 1883 was a Boeing 757 that mistakenly landed on a taxiway at Newark Liberty International Airport on the evening of October 28, 2006.

[5] As the flight crew descended and turned toward the airport, they observed four white path indicator lights, which they believed were located to the left of the runway.

The Boeing 757 jetliner, with a wingspan of 124 feet (38 m), touched down at 130 knots (150 mph; 240 km/h) near the intersection of taxiways Z and R, rolled out and came to a stop without incident.

[2][7] The NTSB noted in its report that as a result of the incident, the FAA instituted two types of changes in its procedures, in the air and on the ground, to reduce the chance of a recurrence.

[1][4] In the air, the FAA added two new arrival procedures, GIMEE 19-7-1 and GRITY 19-7-1A, which it expects will provide improved navigational guidance to the runway under similar conditions.
