[f-AA] ### Was Cleared to Land now Steven has new information for us!

Steven,

In 37 years of flying and over 15,000 hours in airplanes this is the first time I have 
ever had anyone tell me that its ok to land with another airplane still on the runway. 

Military applications aside, from what Roger posted earlier as well as my experience 
around the world, its illegal for the control tower staff to approve a landing of a jet 
airplane on a runway with another airplane still on the same runway. 

Can you pls give us clarification on where you get this information so that we can 
pass it along to the control towers. I fly planes for a living and did not know, nor have 
ever had anyone clear me to land (in the civilian world that is) with a second airplane 
on the runway. They must be missing something in the regulations that you need to 
point out to them!
