Harrison Ford had a "potentially serious" incident while piloting his private plane in an incident that is now being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration, according to a report by NBC Nightly News.

The actor landed on the wrong runway at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, which put him near a full passenger plane, according to the report.

"Air traffic controllers cleared the pilot of a single-engine Aviat Husky to land on Runway 20L at John Wayne Airport Monday afternoon. The pilot correctly read back the clearance. The pilot then landed on a taxiway that runs parallel to the runway, overflying a Boeing 737 that was holding short of the runway. The FAA is investigating this incident," the FAA said.

The passenger plane, American Airlines 737, was reportedly loaded with 110 passengers and a six-person crew.

Ford's representatives declined to comment.

The 74-year-old Star Wars actor has had decades of flying experience, but has also had a series of crashes and close calls. Most recently, in March 2015, he made an emergency landing in an World War II-era airplane on a Santa Monica golf course after its engine failed. Ford suffered a broken arm and minor head injuries, but has since made a full recovery.
