B757 LANDS AT MCO ON WRONG RWY DURING TSTM ACTIVITY.

Narrative

TSTMS IN ORLANDO AREA REQUIRED HOLDING. LNDG S IN MCO. CLRED FROM HOLDING TO ARPT. STILL TOO MUCH WX DIRECTLY OVER FIELD. WAS INVITED TO TRY TO LAND TO N; LOOKED OK. WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 35R; WE WERE ALREADY SET UP FOR RWY 35L WHICH WE WERE ORIGINALLY TOLD TO EXPECT. WE ASKED TO BE CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 35L AND WERE CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 35L; VISUAL APCH. VERY SHORT APCH -- PROBABLY ROLLED WINGS LEVEL ON FINAL ABOUT OM AT MOST. AS WE WERE ABOUT TO ROLL FINAL; THE APCH LIGHTS WERE TURNED UP VERY BRIGHTLY FOR US FOR IDENT. NO OTHER RWY LIGHTS WERE ON ON THE E SIDE OF THE FIELD. XING RWY NUMBERS REVEALED LNDG ON RWY 35R. UNEVENTFUL LNDG AND TAXI IN. WE WERE SET UP FOR FAILURE -- THE PERFECT STORM. WE COULDN'T HAVE FOUND RWY 35L IF WE TRIED -- NO LIGHTS ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES BEFORE -- SWITCHING RWYS AT THE LAST MIN -- ALWAYS TROUBLE; ESPECIALLY WHEN THE RWYS ARE CLOSE PARALLEL. IT ALL HAPPENED VERY FAST. HAD NO TIME TO VERIFY RAW ILS DATA TO ENSURE PROPER RWY PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN. LESSON: DON'T TRUST ANYONE -- EVEN ATC.
