Narrative:
Last night in sps, while the tower was closed, twin cessna, a C414, landed over top of our flight that just arrived from dfw airport. We were on runway 15R and he landed in the other direction on runway 33L. The time of this incident was AM25Z on jun/wed/98. All radio calls were made according to standard FAA/aim procedures. The pilot was aware of our position on the runway. He told us to take the next runway exit. However, due to inadequate lighting for taxiway F, we could not locate the exit and had to roll to the end of this runway. It is a long runway. However, if you miss the first exit or plan to exit on taxiway F and are unable to locate it, you must roll to the end. Very poor judgement was used by the pilot of the twin cessna: 1) for landing over top of another aircraft. He was about 50 ft over top of us as he proceeded to land on runway 33L and exit at taxiway G. Our aircraft is 21 ft tall at the tail. 2) with winds reported to be 140 degrees at 11 KTS, I am sure he exceeded the maximum tailwind component of the aircraft he was flying.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN EMB120 ROLLING OUT ON THE END OF RWY 15R HAS AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION C414 LAND OVER THE TOP, MISSING THE COMMUTER BY 30 FT VERTLY, 0 FT HORIZLY. THE C414 PLT HAD ASKED THE COMMUTER TO TURN OFF AT TXWY F BUT THAT WAS MISSED IN THE DARK AND THE EMB120 WAS TAXIING TO THE END OF THE RWY FOR TURN OFF.
Narrative: LAST NIGHT IN SPS, WHILE THE TWR WAS CLOSED, TWIN CESSNA, A C414, LANDED OVER TOP OF OUR FLT THAT JUST ARRIVED FROM DFW ARPT. WE WERE ON RWY 15R AND HE LANDED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION ON RWY 33L. THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT WAS AM25Z ON JUN/WED/98. ALL RADIO CALLS WERE MADE ACCORDING TO STANDARD FAA/AIM PROCS. THE PLT WAS AWARE OF OUR POS ON THE RWY. HE TOLD US TO TAKE THE NEXT RWY EXIT. HOWEVER, DUE TO INADEQUATE LIGHTING FOR TXWY F, WE COULD NOT LOCATE THE EXIT AND HAD TO ROLL TO THE END OF THIS RWY. IT IS A LONG RWY. HOWEVER, IF YOU MISS THE FIRST EXIT OR PLAN TO EXIT ON TXWY F AND ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE IT, YOU MUST ROLL TO THE END. VERY POOR JUDGEMENT WAS USED BY THE PLT OF THE TWIN CESSNA: 1) FOR LNDG OVER TOP OF ANOTHER ACFT. HE WAS ABOUT 50 FT OVER TOP OF US AS HE PROCEEDED TO LAND ON RWY 33L AND EXIT AT TXWY G. OUR ACFT IS 21 FT TALL AT THE TAIL. 2) WITH WINDS RPTED TO BE 140 DEGS AT 11 KTS, I AM SURE HE EXCEEDED THE MAX TAILWIND COMPONENT OF THE ACFT HE WAS FLYING.
