Narrative:

Landed on runway 27 at san, west/O a clearance and west/O a positively idented green light from the tower. Communication system #1 may have failed after switching to the tower from the final approach controller. In my opinion, the 135 regulations do not protect the pilots flying at the commuter level in terms of rest of maximum hours flown per day. Pilot's decision making skills deteriorate at a much faster rate when flying the typical commuter environment (TCA's, high density traffic areas, approach and landing phase a majority of the time). If the regulations had a special clause for those operators who spend the majority of their time flying the approach/landing phase, then fatigue would be reduced considerably and the flying obviously safer. Below is a flight and shift we have this month. I hope you can change things.

Title: COMMUTER SMT RWY TRANSGRESSION LNDG WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative: LANDED ON RWY 27 AT SAN, W/O A CLRNC AND W/O A POSITIVELY IDENTED GREEN LIGHT FROM THE TWR. COM SYS #1 MAY HAVE FAILED AFTER SWITCHING TO THE TWR FROM THE FINAL APCH CTLR. IN MY OPINION, THE 135 REGS DO NOT PROTECT THE PLTS FLYING AT THE COMMUTER LEVEL IN TERMS OF REST OF MAX HRS FLOWN PER DAY. PLT'S DECISION MAKING SKILLS DETERIORATE AT A MUCH FASTER RATE WHEN FLYING THE TYPICAL COMMUTER ENVIRONMENT (TCA'S, HIGH DENSITY TFC AREAS, APCH AND LNDG PHASE A MAJORITY OF THE TIME). IF THE REGS HAD A SPECIAL CLAUSE FOR THOSE OPERATORS WHO SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME FLYING THE APCH/LNDG PHASE, THEN FATIGUE WOULD BE REDUCED CONSIDERABLY AND THE FLYING OBVIOUSLY SAFER. BELOW IS A FLT AND SHIFT WE HAVE THIS MONTH. I HOPE YOU CAN CHANGE THINGS.
