Narrative:

After being cleared to land on runway 14 at norfolk international while landing a cessna 414 during the rollout at approximately 100 KTS, I noticed an airport van traveling from left to right at approximately 60- 70 mph. It appeared the van wasn't going to stop short of the runway, so I applied maximum braking effort approximately 150 yards before the right wingtip struck the van causing extensive damage to the wingtip and right corner of the van. No injuries were involved. Cause: communication breakdown between tower and ground controllers. Both the van driver and myself were cleared to use the runway! Van driver did not look both ways also! Van driver never saw me on the runway until impact. Runway I used to land on was not the primary runway in use which led to complacent clrncs to ground vehicles. Basic lack of communication between the tower and ground controllers was the source of the problems and the van driver's lack of attention to his driving.

Title: AN SMA HIT A VAN ON THE RWY.

Narrative: AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 14 AT NORFOLK INTL WHILE LNDG A CESSNA 414 DURING THE ROLLOUT AT APPROX 100 KTS, I NOTICED AN ARPT VAN TRAVELING FROM L TO R AT APPROX 60- 70 MPH. IT APPEARED THE VAN WASN'T GOING TO STOP SHORT OF THE RWY, SO I APPLIED MAX BRAKING EFFORT APPROX 150 YARDS BEFORE THE R WINGTIP STRUCK THE VAN CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE WINGTIP AND R CORNER OF THE VAN. NO INJURIES WERE INVOLVED. CAUSE: COM BREAKDOWN BTWN TWR AND GND CTLRS. BOTH THE VAN DRIVER AND MYSELF WERE CLRED TO USE THE RWY! VAN DRIVER DID NOT LOOK BOTH WAYS ALSO! VAN DRIVER NEVER SAW ME ON THE RWY UNTIL IMPACT. RWY I USED TO LAND ON WAS NOT THE PRIMARY RWY IN USE WHICH LED TO COMPLACENT CLRNCS TO GND VEHICLES. BASIC LACK OF COM BTWN THE TWR AND GND CTLRS WAS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBS AND THE VAN DRIVER'S LACK OF ATTN TO HIS DRIVING.
