Some facts for you all.

TBM went to ground freq. instead of tower when instructed.

TBM was never cleared to land.

TBM was doing an NDB/DME approach with a 6 Deg off set.

Flybe crew were cleared to line up by tower.

If the TBM had have been on the tower freq. I expect he would have been told to continue the approach there is one aircraft to depart.

Finally the flybe crew would have had the TBM on TCAS and lining up infront of an aircraft on 5 miles is the norm at BHX.

Some posts would be suprised for a professional pilot to see an aircraft on a runway and land over it.

Firstly, you can act as professionally as you like but if you are an overloaded single pilot doing an NDB/DME approach to an international airport the chances are you will f1_1ck up.

And when I say overloaded I don't mean heavy.

The facts are that the TBM pilot didn't see the dash and DID fly directly over it and land.

How do I know all this?
