Narrative:

Runway closed, runway 36R, taxiway on south side of airport connecting runway 36L to runway 36R closed. Aircraft on ILS approach to runway 36L, on initial call-up, requests to visually side step to runway 36R (closed runway). I acknowledged his request and asked pilot to report runway in sight, forgetting about the runway closure. Aircraft reports runway and requests runway 36R for landing. I clear aircraft to land. Aircraft landed and turned off runway with no incident. There is no instrument approach to runway 36R, and the FBO is on the southeast corner of the airport. In normal sits with marginal WX, we normally give small aircraft the ILS to runway 36L and side step to runway 36R to save taxi time. The taxiway on the south side of the airport is closed from runway 36L to runway 36R.

Title: KING AIR CLRED TO LAND AND LANDED ON CLOSED RWY. SYS ERROR. PLTDEV.

Narrative: RWY CLOSED, RWY 36R, TXWY ON S SIDE OF ARPT CONNECTING RWY 36L TO RWY 36R CLOSED. ACFT ON ILS APCH TO RWY 36L, ON INITIAL CALL-UP, REQUESTS TO VISUALLY SIDE STEP TO RWY 36R (CLOSED RWY). I ACKNOWLEDGED HIS REQUEST AND ASKED PLT TO RPT RWY IN SIGHT, FORGETTING ABOUT THE RWY CLOSURE. ACFT RPTS RWY AND REQUESTS RWY 36R FOR LNDG. I CLR ACFT TO LAND. ACFT LANDED AND TURNED OFF RWY WITH NO INCIDENT. THERE IS NO INST APCH TO RWY 36R, AND THE FBO IS ON THE SE CORNER OF THE ARPT. IN NORMAL SITS WITH MARGINAL WX, WE NORMALLY GIVE SMALL ACFT THE ILS TO RWY 36L AND SIDE STEP TO RWY 36R TO SAVE TAXI TIME. THE TXWY ON THE S SIDE OF THE ARPT IS CLOSED FROM RWY 36L TO RWY 36R.
