## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)ATC CLEARED A 121 FLT TO LAND ON RUNWAY 26 WHILE AIRPORT PERSONNEL WERE EXERCISING ON RUNWAY 26. TOWER CONTROLLER WAS NOT AWARE OF PERSONNEL EXERCISING ON RUNWAY.  PERSONNEL MOVED FROM RUNWAY WHILE THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AND TAXIED FOR PARKING.  AFTER LANDING THE PIC APPROACHED THE INDIVIDUALS BEING ON THE RUNWAY.  THEY IGNORED HIM.  PIC RETURNED TO DISPATCH AND REFUSED TO FLY ANYMORE FLIGHTS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
