2012-06-09 · St Louis Downtown Airport · PA32 / C172 · RWY 12R · Category A
LOCAL CONTROL (LC) CLEARED C172 TO LAND ON RUNWAY 23. DURING THE C172'S LANDING ROLL, LC AND THE C172 OBSERVED PA32 FLY DIRECTLY OVER THE TOP OF THE C172 AND LAND ON RUNWAY 12R WITHOUT A CLEARANCE OR CONTACTING THE TOWER. PA32 TURNED OFF OF RUNWAY 12R ONTO TAXIWAY BRAVO. PA32 CALLED GROUND CONTROL (GC) AND REPORTED HE WAS HAVING RADIO PROBLEMS AND DID NOT CONTACT THE TOWER INBOUND. GC ASKED IF THE PA32 FOLLOWED NORDO PROCEDURES BY ENTERING DOWNWIND AND ROCKING HIS WINGS. PA32 REPLIED HE DID NOT. (THE PA32 APPROACHED THE AIRPORT FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND ENTERED A TIGHT, RIGHT BASE TO RUNWAY 12R). TOWER ESTIMATED THE CLOSEST PROXIMITY AT 100 FT VERTICAL, AND IN A SUBSEQUENT PHONE CALL, THE PILOT OF THE C172 ESTIMATED THE DISTANCE AT 50 FT VERTICAL.
Counts are reported events, not a danger ranking. Before FY2008 the FAA used a narrower definition, so earlier years are not directly comparable.
