Story highlights Ford was cleared by FAA, his attorney says

Actor landed on a taxiway of a Southern California airport

(CNN) The Federal Aviation Administration will not pursue enforcement action against actor Harrison Ford after he mistakenly landed a small plane on a taxiway at a Southern California airport, his attorney said.
