Narrative:
We were cleared for the visual approach, everything was normal with approach and landing, on rollout I noticed an aircraft coming from right to left heading for the same intersection we were! The pilot flying the aircraft saw the same thing and immediately applied hard braking. The other aircraft became airborne and appeared to be above us before the intersection. We both felt we would have been stopped prior to the intersection but the distance was still too close. The controller made a comment and we continued to the ramp area. Timing was in our favor that particular day, our landing a few seconds sooner or the other aircraft departing seconds later could have had disastrous results. The long period between being cleared to land and our actual arrival may have had a factor in the controllers actions. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter indicated that there was only one local. He believes, because they were cleared to land on runway 28 so far out, the controller may have forgotten about them, when they cleared the paye to takeoff on runway 21.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: LOCAL CTLR AT KMGM CLRED A TWIN PIPER ACFT FOR TKOF WITHOUT REGARD FOR A CORP JET LNDG ON A XING RWY.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED FOR THE VISUAL APCH, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL WITH APCH AND LNDG, ON ROLLOUT I NOTICED AN ACFT COMING FROM R TO L HEADING FOR THE SAME INTXN WE WERE! THE PLT FLYING THE ACFT SAW THE SAME THING AND IMMEDIATELY APPLIED HARD BRAKING. THE OTHER ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE AND APPEARED TO BE ABOVE US BEFORE THE INTXN. WE BOTH FELT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED PRIOR TO THE INTXN BUT THE DISTANCE WAS STILL TOO CLOSE. THE CTLR MADE A COMMENT AND WE CONTINUED TO THE RAMP AREA. TIMING WAS IN OUR FAVOR THAT PARTICULAR DAY, OUR LNDG A FEW SECS SOONER OR THE OTHER ACFT DEPARTING SECS LATER COULD HAVE HAD DISASTROUS RESULTS. THE LONG PERIOD BTWN BEING CLRED TO LAND AND OUR ACTUAL ARRIVAL MAY HAVE HAD A FACTOR IN THE CTLRS ACTIONS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR INDICATED THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE LOCAL. HE BELIEVES, BECAUSE THEY WERE CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 28 SO FAR OUT, THE CTLR MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THEM, WHEN THEY CLRED THE PAYE TO TKOF ON RWY 21.
