Narrative:
I was on a VFR flight from hutchinson, ks, to nashville, tn. Everything was fine until I got to nashville. At that time I landed at bna. The only problem with that is that I was filed for M88, not bna. This resulted in causing a scheduled carrier to 'go around' because I got in his way. Upon landing and parking the aircraft, I was told to call nashville tower, to explain why I landed at the wrong field. I landed at the wrong field because I couldn't see my intended destination. I did apologize to the tower supervisor. I still haven't heard from the FAA, nashville FSDO, or anyone about this occurrence.

Narrative: I WAS ON A VFR FLT FROM HUTCHINSON, KS, TO NASHVILLE, TN. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL I GOT TO NASHVILLE. AT THAT TIME I LANDED AT BNA. THE ONLY PROB WITH THAT IS THAT I WAS FILED FOR M88, NOT BNA. THIS RESULTED IN CAUSING A SCHEDULED CARRIER TO 'GO AROUND' BECAUSE I GOT IN HIS WAY. UPON LNDG AND PARKING THE ACFT, I WAS TOLD TO CALL NASHVILLE TWR, TO EXPLAIN WHY I LANDED AT THE WRONG FIELD. I LANDED AT THE WRONG FIELD BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE MY INTENDED DEST. I DID APOLOGIZE TO THE TWR SUPVR. I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE FAA, NASHVILLE FSDO, OR ANYONE ABOUT THIS OCCURRENCE.
