Narrative:

I was occupying the left seat while the right seat occupant was flying the airplane. We were flying an ILS 19 approach when approach control asked us to hold short of intersection runway 11/29 and we accepted. Note that neither approach control or tower stated runway distance usable. Upon landing we discovered that we couldn't stop in the distance remaining, in a safe manner. In the interest of safety (as we had the other landing aircraft in sight) we elected to go through the runway intersection rather than have an accident. Tower could have taken other action with small aircraft Y as it was evident that we could not complete our landing roll before the intersection (please note the landing aircraft had not xed the intersection at the time we were going through). Supplemental information from acn 156495. The aircraft using the intersecting runway (29), was in sight and at an estimated height of 200' AGL.

Title: RWY INTERSECTION CONFLICTION BETWEEN LNDG AND DEPARTING LIGHT TWINS AT SDF, KY.

Narrative: I WAS OCCUPYING THE L SEAT WHILE THE R SEAT OCCUPANT WAS FLYING THE AIRPLANE. WE WERE FLYING AN ILS 19 APCH WHEN APCH CTL ASKED US TO HOLD SHORT OF INTXN RWY 11/29 AND WE ACCEPTED. NOTE THAT NEITHER APCH CTL OR TWR STATED RWY DISTANCE USABLE. UPON LNDG WE DISCOVERED THAT WE COULDN'T STOP IN THE DISTANCE REMAINING, IN A SAFE MANNER. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY (AS WE HAD THE OTHER LNDG ACFT IN SIGHT) WE ELECTED TO GO THROUGH THE RWY INTXN RATHER THAN HAVE AN ACCIDENT. TWR COULD HAVE TAKEN OTHER ACTION WITH SMA Y AS IT WAS EVIDENT THAT WE COULD NOT COMPLETE OUR LNDG ROLL BEFORE THE INTXN (PLEASE NOTE THE LNDG ACFT HAD NOT XED THE INTXN AT THE TIME WE WERE GOING THROUGH). SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 156495. THE ACFT USING THE INTERSECTING RWY (29), WAS IN SIGHT AND AT AN ESTIMATED HEIGHT OF 200' AGL.
