Narrative:

A potential aircraft incursion occurred at capital city airport, harrisburg, PA. I was returning to cxy from the practice area, in a C152 approximately 10 mi west of the airfield when I entered harrisburg airspace. After receiving my transponder frequency, I was directed to do a 360 degree turn. Just under 1/2 way through the turn. I was directed to return to an easterly heading and would be landing second immediately following what I believe was a piper cub. I continued to the airfield and made a visual with the other aircraft as it crossed approximately 1/4 mi to my front from right to left on base leg into runway 12. I was #2. I watched the piper cub land and as I reached short final I heard 'clear touch-and-go runway 12.' I repeated clear touch-and-go and continued my descent. After I had the runway made, and was approximately 15-20 ft off the ground, I heard for the first time the direction to 'go around.' I did not feel I could safely execute the go around at that point in the descent and in my judgement thought it was safer to put the plane on the ground. I recall seeing the piper cub off to my 9 O'clock position and knew I had cleared the aircraft. I proceeded to land the plane. Still thinking I was clear for the option, I closed the carburetor heat, lifted the flaps and accelerated for takeoff. The tower then directed me to taxi to taxiway H and return. I had to brake hard to make the taxiway, but was able to make the turn. My passenger had been in the plane about 1 1/2 hours at this point and told me that he was ready to wrap it up for the day. As I reviewed the events in my mind, I realize that I had either lost concentration or become distraction. I continued straight on taxiway H and crossed the hold short for the next runway -- runway 8.

Title: PLT IN ACFT X LANDED OVER ACFT Y AFTER RECEIVING GAR CLRNC. AFTER LNDG, PLT IN ACFT X GIVEN CLRNC TO TAXI OFF RWY. PLT PROCEEDED TO CROSS AN ACTIVE RWY.

Narrative: A POTENTIAL ACFT INCURSION OCCURRED AT CAPITAL CITY ARPT, HARRISBURG, PA. I WAS RETURNING TO CXY FROM THE PRACTICE AREA, IN A C152 APPROX 10 MI W OF THE AIRFIELD WHEN I ENTERED HARRISBURG AIRSPACE. AFTER RECEIVING MY XPONDER FREQ, I WAS DIRECTED TO DO A 360 DEG TURN. JUST UNDER 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE TURN. I WAS DIRECTED TO RETURN TO AN EASTERLY HDG AND WOULD BE LNDG SECOND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING WHAT I BELIEVE WAS A PIPER CUB. I CONTINUED TO THE AIRFIELD AND MADE A VISUAL WITH THE OTHER ACFT AS IT CROSSED APPROX 1/4 MI TO MY FRONT FROM R TO L ON BASE LEG INTO RWY 12. I WAS #2. I WATCHED THE PIPER CUB LAND AND AS I REACHED SHORT FINAL I HEARD 'CLR TOUCH-AND-GO RWY 12.' I REPEATED CLR TOUCH-AND-GO AND CONTINUED MY DSCNT. AFTER I HAD THE RWY MADE, AND WAS APPROX 15-20 FT OFF THE GND, I HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME THE DIRECTION TO 'GO AROUND.' I DID NOT FEEL I COULD SAFELY EXECUTE THE GAR AT THAT POINT IN THE DSCNT AND IN MY JUDGEMENT THOUGHT IT WAS SAFER TO PUT THE PLANE ON THE GND. I RECALL SEEING THE PIPER CUB OFF TO MY 9 O'CLOCK POS AND KNEW I HAD CLRED THE ACFT. I PROCEEDED TO LAND THE PLANE. STILL THINKING I WAS CLR FOR THE OPTION, I CLOSED THE CARB HEAT, LIFTED THE FLAPS AND ACCELERATED FOR TKOF. THE TWR THEN DIRECTED ME TO TAXI TO TXWY H AND RETURN. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO MAKE THE TXWY, BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN. MY PAX HAD BEEN IN THE PLANE ABOUT 1 1/2 HRS AT THIS POINT AND TOLD ME THAT HE WAS READY TO WRAP IT UP FOR THE DAY. AS I REVIEWED THE EVENTS IN MY MIND, I REALIZE THAT I HAD EITHER LOST CONCENTRATION OR BECOME DISTR. I CONTINUED STRAIGHT ON TXWY H AND CROSSED THE HOLD SHORT FOR THE NEXT RWY -- RWY 8.
