Exactly. Get rid of the jets.light aircraft and heavy jets do not mix,the solution is obvious.
George,
He was cleared to land on 20L but landed on the active parallel taxiway C over the top of a 737 holding short.
Major Faux Pas.
I am now reburying my head in the sand.
How about "dont go to the jet airports. Jets and Cubs dont mix. But that has nothing to do with what happened here. I am 68 years old. Harrison is 75 or so. When I start to make mistakes like that I will hang it up.

I guess the tower folks didn't monitor his approach and flight path and offer prompt corrective action. Conflict alerts on their electronics and reply to his question regarding the jet in front and below. I wonder what the obligation is from them to do that?

I am frankly more disappointed with that NTSB guy for jumping to a conclusion without having seen the results of any investigation, than I am with whoever it was that was flying the Husky. Really unprofessional. If this is how the safety branch of our aviation infrastructure is going to examine information, then it calls into question its ability as a board to arrive at a conclusion devoid of hype.
EDIT: I see the NTSB guy that the story quoted is a former chair. Still, you would think he'd know better than to make comments like that.
You are kidding, right?
He said nothing about the 737 until he had over flown it and landed.
John Wayne is not Bush flying.
A former NTSB chairman shot his mouth off to CBS news. That condemned the whole organisation.One man's opinion!
Who said the NTSB was involved?
Rightly or not, gives 'em a black eye though.Didnt condemn the whole NTSB in my mind.
It can happen... I tried to land my C180 at Knoxville on 5R, but was lined up with the taxiway between the parallels. I realized my error on about 1 mile final and landing where I was supposed to. It is amazing his we can get fixated and it sometimes takes someone to whack you in the head to see clearly. Sorry it happened to a well known flyer.
