Narrative:
Small aircraft X was instructed to land on runway 13 from a right base entry. He was not in sight from the tower and was told so. The controller asked several times for his position reference runway 13. An light transport was cleared for takeoff on runway 8 since small aircraft X was not in sight. Small aircraft X landed on runway 31 without a clearance, passed through the intersection of runway 8 just behind the light transport. In a phone conversation with the small aircraft X pilot he stated runway 31 was on his mind all the way since that is usually the most active at lns. Even though he repeated runway 13 on the initial call, a radar BRITE scope would have made the difference. The visibility was 7 mi but it was very hard to spot traffic. The local controller had asked the ground controller to help spot small aircraft X. They scanned all directions and never saw small aircraft X until he was rolling out on runway 31.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: MULTIPLE RWY OP INTERSECTING RWYS. SMA X LNDG ON WRONG RWY, HAD LTSS FROM LTT TKOF ON INTERSECTING RWY. PLTDEV. WRONG RWY APCH.
Narrative: SMA X WAS INSTRUCTED TO LAND ON RWY 13 FROM A R BASE ENTRY. HE WAS NOT IN SIGHT FROM THE TWR AND WAS TOLD SO. THE CTLR ASKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR HIS POS REF RWY 13. AN LTT WAS CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 8 SINCE SMA X WAS NOT IN SIGHT. SMA X LANDED ON RWY 31 WITHOUT A CLRNC, PASSED THROUGH THE INTXN OF RWY 8 JUST BEHIND THE LTT. IN A PHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE SMA X PLT HE STATED RWY 31 WAS ON HIS MIND ALL THE WAY SINCE THAT IS USUALLY THE MOST ACTIVE AT LNS. EVEN THOUGH HE REPEATED RWY 13 ON THE INITIAL CALL, A RADAR BRITE SCOPE WOULD HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE. THE VISIBILITY WAS 7 MI BUT IT WAS VERY HARD TO SPOT TFC. THE LCL CTLR HAD ASKED THE GND CTLR TO HELP SPOT SMA X. THEY SCANNED ALL DIRECTIONS AND NEVER SAW SMA X UNTIL HE WAS ROLLING OUT ON RWY 31.
