Harrison Ford is being investigated for making an error while operating a plane
this week in California, according to a new report.

The actor, an avid flyer, apparently landed at the Hawthorne Airport on Friday
in Southern California when he began traveling from the runway to the taxiway.
According to audio obtained by TMZ, Ford, 77, failed to follow a tower
operator's direction to "hold short" on the runway due to "traffic."

Based on the audio, it appears the actor did not hear the direction. He began to
cross the runway anyway, prompting the operator to scold him for not following
his instructions.

"Get across that runway now! I told you to hold short! You need to listen up,"
the operator says.

"Excuse me, sir, I thought exactly the opposite. I'm terribly sorry," Ford
responded immediately.

TMZ reported that there was no risk of a crash. The other plane was reportedly
3,600 feet from Ford's aircraft.

TMZ claims an official for the Federal Aviation Administration said the incident
is now under investigation. Ford's rep told the outlet that he "misheard" the
operator's instruction and apologized right away.

A rep for the actor did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for
comment.

According to the outlet, Ford was in the middle of getting his license updated
so that he can participate in relief efforts.

In 2015, Ford crashed his vintage World War II plane at a Los Angeles golf
course. That didn't stop him from doing the hobby he loves, however, as he
hopped back in the pilot's seat just three months later.
