Narrative:
We approached the airport from the northeast so as to minimize the number of turns required for the landing and therefore minimize patient discomfort. Approach advised us of VFR traffic from the north approaching jabara. We made visual contact and it was determined that the traffic would not be a factor as it was about 10 mi north of our position. After approach confirmed that traffic was not a factor, we proceeded with our landing, slowing to normal approach and landing speed. The landing was normal for current conditions and since the taxiway was on our right wingtip as we slowed to taxiing speed, I proceeded with 270 degree turn to leave the runway. As we came around, we were quite startled to see traffic touching down on the runway while we still occupied the runway. Said aircraft never did get any closer than 1500'. The aircraft was well behind us as we slowed and approached for landing. The other aircraft did not use normal radio procedure to advise traffic of his intention or position, therefore we did not have any idea of his closing on us nor his position on final. This airport is not controled, we were in strict compliance with normal procedure and applicable federal aviation regulations.

Title: CLOSE PROX TWO GA ACFT ON THE GND AT 3KM.
Narrative: WE APCHED THE ARPT FROM THE NE SO AS TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF TURNS REQUIRED FOR THE LNDG AND THEREFORE MINIMIZE PATIENT DISCOMFORT. APCH ADVISED US OF VFR TFC FROM THE N APCHING JABARA. WE MADE VISUAL CONTACT AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TFC WOULD NOT BE A FACTOR AS IT WAS ABOUT 10 MI N OF OUR POSITION. AFTER APCH CONFIRMED THAT TFC WAS NOT A FACTOR, WE PROCEEDED WITH OUR LNDG, SLOWING TO NORMAL APCH AND LNDG SPEED. THE LNDG WAS NORMAL FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS AND SINCE THE TXWY WAS ON OUR RIGHT WINGTIP AS WE SLOWED TO TAXIING SPEED, I PROCEEDED WITH 270 DEG TURN TO LEAVE THE RWY. AS WE CAME AROUND, WE WERE QUITE STARTLED TO SEE TFC TOUCHING DOWN ON THE RWY WHILE WE STILL OCCUPIED THE RWY. SAID ACFT NEVER DID GET ANY CLOSER THAN 1500'. THE ACFT WAS WELL BEHIND US AS WE SLOWED AND APCHED FOR LNDG. THE OTHER ACFT DID NOT USE NORMAL RADIO PROC TO ADVISE TFC OF HIS INTENTION OR POSITION, THEREFORE WE DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA OF HIS CLOSING ON US NOR HIS POSITION ON FINAL. THIS ARPT IS NOT CTLED, WE WERE IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH NORMAL PROC AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL AVIATION REGS.
