Narrative:

During visual approachs, particularly when parallel approachs are in progress, extra detail and care should be provided and taken to assure that pilots flying the visual approach have idented and are following the correct traffic. While verifying traffic for runway 33R we overshot the runway centerline. We then noticed traffic for runway 33L was behind us not realizing we overshot the runway 33R centerline. We made a normal turn back toward the runway 33R centerline. No evasive action was necessary.

Title: MDT OVERSHOT TURN TO FINAL AND CONFLICTED WITH ACFT ON APCH TO PARALLEL RWY.

Narrative: DURING VISUAL APCHS, PARTICULARLY WHEN PARALLEL APCHS ARE IN PROGRESS, EXTRA DETAIL AND CARE SHOULD BE PROVIDED AND TAKEN TO ASSURE THAT PLTS FLYING THE VISUAL APCH HAVE IDENTED AND ARE FOLLOWING THE CORRECT TFC. WHILE VERIFYING TFC FOR RWY 33R WE OVERSHOT THE RWY CTRLINE. WE THEN NOTICED TFC FOR RWY 33L WAS BEHIND US NOT REALIZING WE OVERSHOT THE RWY 33R CTRLINE. WE MADE A NORMAL TURN BACK TOWARD THE RWY 33R CTRLINE. NO EVASIVE ACTION WAS NECESSARY.
