Narrative:

Arriving at acu we flew the localizer for 32. Winds were out of the southeast around 5-7 KTS. I decided to circle for runway 14R traffic which is standard. I advised FSS we would circle for 14R traffic. FSS responded that 32 was available. I responded, 'roger.' at this time we had left the localizer course and were on a parallel downwind at 1500' AGL. My first officer broadcast our position as 'xyz is right downwind 14.' at this time an small transport was taxiing out and received WX advisory from FSS. FSS asked us our position and my first officer responded 'xyz right base 14.' the small transport said it would hold for us short of runway 32. We turned to final approach all checklists completed. We were aware of the aircraft holding for us. At this point another aircraft radioed it was taxiing out and 'had the numbers.' as I began to flare I noticed a single engine aircraft approaching runway 32 right to left. I initially thought it might be cross traffic runway 2, but then the aircraft turned onto 32 and began to roll for takeoff. We were on rollout and forward of beta range--I called for go around and set maximum power as we rotated the other aircraft, which I now knew had taken runway 32 from a downfield intersection, veered right and was partially off the runway, its right main and nose wheel in the dirt. As we flew over it went back onto 32, took off and departed. We flew right traffic back for 14 and landed and taxied to the gate. The small aircraft Y never radioed a departure intention nor did it stop at the intersection to look. I guess the pilot assumed 32 was in use and never thought anyone would use 14. Both runways were used that day due to winds. At uncontrolled fields communication is important. If FSS designates a runway in use, then that's the one you should land on. If the winds are variable then it can be a free for all, but there are still the rules of right of way and courtesy. The prevention could be as many position calls as required so you know that everyone else knows and if you're on the ground go really slow and 'stop, look and listen.

Title: SMT AT NON TWR ARPT EXECTUED A GO AROUND AFTER TOUCHDOWN TO AVOID SMA WHO WAS DEPARTING OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON SAME RWY. SMT USED FSS FOR TRAFFIC ADVISORY. SMA DID NOT. SMA PULLED OUT FROM TXWY FOR TKOF WHEN ACR-SMT WAS IN FLARE TO LAND.

Narrative: ARRIVING AT ACU WE FLEW THE LOC FOR 32. WINDS WERE OUT OF THE SE AROUND 5-7 KTS. I DECIDED TO CIRCLE FOR RWY 14R TFC WHICH IS STANDARD. I ADVISED FSS WE WOULD CIRCLE FOR 14R TFC. FSS RESPONDED THAT 32 WAS AVAILABLE. I RESPONDED, 'ROGER.' AT THIS TIME WE HAD LEFT THE LOC COURSE AND WERE ON A PARALLEL DOWNWIND AT 1500' AGL. MY F/O BROADCAST OUR POS AS 'XYZ IS RIGHT DOWNWIND 14.' AT THIS TIME AN SMT WAS TAXIING OUT AND RECEIVED WX ADVISORY FROM FSS. FSS ASKED US OUR POS AND MY F/O RESPONDED 'XYZ RIGHT BASE 14.' THE SMT SAID IT WOULD HOLD FOR US SHORT OF RWY 32. WE TURNED TO FINAL APCH ALL CHKLISTS COMPLETED. WE WERE AWARE OF THE ACFT HOLDING FOR US. AT THIS POINT ANOTHER ACFT RADIOED IT WAS TAXIING OUT AND 'HAD THE NUMBERS.' AS I BEGAN TO FLARE I NOTICED A SINGLE ENG ACFT APCHING RWY 32 RIGHT TO LEFT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE CROSS TFC RWY 2, BUT THEN THE ACFT TURNED ONTO 32 AND BEGAN TO ROLL FOR TKOF. WE WERE ON ROLLOUT AND FORWARD OF BETA RANGE--I CALLED FOR GAR AND SET MAX PWR AS WE ROTATED THE OTHER ACFT, WHICH I NOW KNEW HAD TAKEN RWY 32 FROM A DOWNFIELD INTXN, VEERED RIGHT AND WAS PARTIALLY OFF THE RWY, ITS RIGHT MAIN AND NOSE WHEEL IN THE DIRT. AS WE FLEW OVER IT WENT BACK ONTO 32, TOOK OFF AND DEPARTED. WE FLEW RIGHT TFC BACK FOR 14 AND LANDED AND TAXIED TO THE GATE. THE SMA Y NEVER RADIOED A DEP INTENTION NOR DID IT STOP AT THE INTXN TO LOOK. I GUESS THE PLT ASSUMED 32 WAS IN USE AND NEVER THOUGHT ANYONE WOULD USE 14. BOTH RWYS WERE USED THAT DAY DUE TO WINDS. AT UNCONTROLLED FIELDS COM IS IMPORTANT. IF FSS DESIGNATES A RWY IN USE, THEN THAT'S THE ONE YOU SHOULD LAND ON. IF THE WINDS ARE VARIABLE THEN IT CAN BE A FREE FOR ALL, BUT THERE ARE STILL THE RULES OF RIGHT OF WAY AND COURTESY. THE PREVENTION COULD BE AS MANY POS CALLS AS REQUIRED SO YOU KNOW THAT EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS AND IF YOU'RE ON THE GND GO REALLY SLOW AND 'STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN.
