Narrative:

Landing lns, IFR flight plan, executing ILS 8 MVFR. At 5 mi out, I called the tower with, '...field in sight.' I was told to report a 3 mi final. When I was 3.9-2.4 NM, I was not able to make a position report to the tower due to other aircraft's radio broadcasts. When I finally got through at 2.4 mi to the tower, I told them I was 2 1/2 mi out for runway 8. The tower cleared me to land, but I was to slow down 'as much as feasible' because of an small aircraft Y that was to land on runway 13, and he was going to go through the runway intxns. In order to comply, I closed the throttle at 1 mi out. While concentrating on the small aircraft Y, runway 8, and my airspeed, I did not notice the small aircraft Z to be cleared into position and hold runway 8. At 100' above the runway, I looked down and saw the small aircraft Z in position on the 200' displaced threshold. Mostly because the throttle was closed to comply with speed restriction, diverted attention and the small aircraft Z was not moving. I elected to land (long landing). I tried to call the tower, but again was unable. I finally got through to the tower after rollout and advised him of the other aircraft. His reply was that, '...we're sorry...right turn contact ground.' recommendations: VFR STAR or published arrival/departure corridors and clear delivery and TRSA or arsa; BRITE scope and 2 local controllers for each runway during peak hours; and approach controller for lns/reading sector only, not share with harrisburg, PA.

Title: ACFT LANDED OVER ANOTHER ACFT HOLDING IN TKOF POSITION.

Narrative: LNDG LNS, IFR FLT PLAN, EXECUTING ILS 8 MVFR. AT 5 MI OUT, I CALLED THE TWR WITH, '...FIELD IN SIGHT.' I WAS TOLD TO RPT A 3 MI FINAL. WHEN I WAS 3.9-2.4 NM, I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE A POS RPT TO THE TWR DUE TO OTHER ACFT'S RADIO BROADCASTS. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THROUGH AT 2.4 MI TO THE TWR, I TOLD THEM I WAS 2 1/2 MI OUT FOR RWY 8. THE TWR CLRED ME TO LAND, BUT I WAS TO SLOW DOWN 'AS MUCH AS FEASIBLE' BECAUSE OF AN SMA Y THAT WAS TO LAND ON RWY 13, AND HE WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH THE RWY INTXNS. IN ORDER TO COMPLY, I CLOSED THE THROTTLE AT 1 MI OUT. WHILE CONCENTRATING ON THE SMA Y, RWY 8, AND MY AIRSPD, I DID NOT NOTICE THE SMA Z TO BE CLRED INTO POS AND HOLD RWY 8. AT 100' ABOVE THE RWY, I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE SMA Z IN POS ON THE 200' DISPLACED THRESHOLD. MOSTLY BECAUSE THE THROTTLE WAS CLOSED TO COMPLY WITH SPD RESTRICTION, DIVERTED ATTN AND THE SMA Z WAS NOT MOVING. I ELECTED TO LAND (LONG LNDG). I TRIED TO CALL THE TWR, BUT AGAIN WAS UNABLE. I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO THE TWR AFTER ROLLOUT AND ADVISED HIM OF THE OTHER ACFT. HIS REPLY WAS THAT, '...WE'RE SORRY...RIGHT TURN CONTACT GND.' RECOMMENDATIONS: VFR STAR OR PUBLISHED ARR/DEP CORRIDORS AND CLR DELIVERY AND TRSA OR ARSA; BRITE SCOPE AND 2 LCL CTLRS FOR EACH RWY DURING PEAK HRS; AND APCH CTLR FOR LNS/READING SECTOR ONLY, NOT SHARE WITH HARRISBURG, PA.
