Narrative:

I had just taken over the local position. A C152 was inbound to runway 36, I placed a C210 into position to hold on runway 36 at golf 1 intersection. The C152 landed on runway 36 at the numbers while the C210 was in position 1400 ft down runway. The C152 had never received a landing clearance. If the C152 would have questioned my actions or reminded me of an aircraft on the runway or asked for landing verification, the event would not have happened. If I would have been more diligent to the situation, then I would have prevented it. No teamwork between the pilot and the controller was established.

Title: LOSS OF SEPARATION WHEN A C152 LANDS WITHOUT CLRNC WHILE A C210 IS HOLDING IN POS ON THE SAME RWY AT INTXN GOLF 1.

Narrative: I HAD JUST TAKEN OVER THE LCL POS. A C152 WAS INBOUND TO RWY 36, I PLACED A C210 INTO POS TO HOLD ON RWY 36 AT GOLF 1 INTXN. THE C152 LANDED ON RWY 36 AT THE NUMBERS WHILE THE C210 WAS IN POS 1400 FT DOWN RWY. THE C152 HAD NEVER RECEIVED A LNDG CLRNC. IF THE C152 WOULD HAVE QUESTIONED MY ACTIONS OR REMINDED ME OF AN ACFT ON THE RWY OR ASKED FOR LNDG VERIFICATION, THE EVENT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DILIGENT TO THE SIT, THEN I WOULD HAVE PREVENTED IT. NO TEAMWORK BTWN THE PLT AND THE CTLR WAS ESTABLISHED.
