Narrative:
While flying a charter back from 4m7 to bna, is where the problems started. After contacting nashville approach, the controller's 3RD to 4TH instructions requested me to keep the speed up to 180 KTS till 5 mi out. The controller also put me 4-5 mi in trail of a large transport for runway 20R. After contacting tower, I requested runway 20C to avoid wake turbulence from the large transport. The tower cleared me to land on runway 20C. So, I tried to start slowing down the aircraft and lose altitude to land. I finally got the aircraft in the landing mode when on short final an light transport jet, which I thought would be held until I landed, taxied under my landing approach which was too close for to be safe. How the problem arose? From the controllers who were trying to rush too many planes through a small area. How it was discovered? The copilot called me to find out why I was so close to his aircraft. Contributing factors! The controllers were trying to move too many aircraft too fast. Corrective actions. Leveled off and did not land till 1500' down the runway. The way to avoid the problem in the future would be to not allow aircraft to taxi under the landing approach end of the runway.

Title: AN LTT CROSSING END OF RWY COMPLAINED TO LNDG ACFT THAT IT WAS TOO CLOSE OVER THE THRESHOLD.
Narrative: WHILE FLYING A CHARTER BACK FROM 4M7 TO BNA, IS WHERE THE PROBS STARTED. AFTER CONTACTING NASHVILLE APCH, THE CTLR'S 3RD TO 4TH INSTRUCTIONS REQUESTED ME TO KEEP THE SPD UP TO 180 KTS TILL 5 MI OUT. THE CTLR ALSO PUT ME 4-5 MI IN TRAIL OF A LGT FOR RWY 20R. AFTER CONTACTING TWR, I REQUESTED RWY 20C TO AVOID WAKE TURB FROM THE LGT. THE TWR CLRED ME TO LAND ON RWY 20C. SO, I TRIED TO START SLOWING DOWN THE ACFT AND LOSE ALT TO LAND. I FINALLY GOT THE ACFT IN THE LNDG MODE WHEN ON SHORT FINAL AN LTT JET, WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE HELD UNTIL I LANDED, TAXIED UNDER MY LNDG APCH WHICH WAS TOO CLOSE FOR TO BE SAFE. HOW THE PROB AROSE? FROM THE CTLRS WHO WERE TRYING TO RUSH TOO MANY PLANES THROUGH A SMALL AREA. HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED? THE COPLT CALLED ME TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS SO CLOSE TO HIS ACFT. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS! THE CTLRS WERE TRYING TO MOVE TOO MANY ACFT TOO FAST. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. LEVELED OFF AND DID NOT LAND TILL 1500' DOWN THE RWY. THE WAY TO AVOID THE PROB IN THE FUTURE WOULD BE TO NOT ALLOW ACFT TO TAXI UNDER THE LNDG APCH END OF THE RWY.
