Narrative:

After routine drop of jumpers from 11500' MSL, I descended back to bxk. Winds favored 35 and I made radio calls from my 45 degree entry to a left downwind approach for 35. I also called left downwind, left base and final. With wheels on runway and aircraft decelerating, I was shocked to see an aircraft coming directly toward me, apparently departing 17. I steered for the right side of the runway and a possible exit onto the dirt. As I veered to the right, the approaching aircraft rotated and competed 1 flight around the pattern before landing. Subsequent conversation with the pilot revealed that he had no radio and that while he claimed to have me in sight from my entry into the pattern, he elected to continue with his 17 departure. Though I had looked for aircraft on the ground and in the air when I entered the pattern, I never saw this aircraft until my wheels were on the ground. While radios have certainly been known to fail, they are still the main source of communication and the fact that the regulations allow for flight west/O them shows an appalling lack of concern for prudent air safety fundamentals. Radios should be mandatory equipment on any and all aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: CLOSE PROX 2 GA ACFT ON THE SAME RWY OPPOSITE DIRECTION, ONE LNDG AND THE OTHER ON TKOF ROLL.

Narrative: AFTER ROUTINE DROP OF JUMPERS FROM 11500' MSL, I DSNDED BACK TO BXK. WINDS FAVORED 35 AND I MADE RADIO CALLS FROM MY 45 DEG ENTRY TO A LEFT DOWNWIND APCH FOR 35. I ALSO CALLED LEFT DOWNWIND, LEFT BASE AND FINAL. WITH WHEELS ON RWY AND ACFT DECELERATING, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE AN ACFT COMING DIRECTLY TOWARD ME, APPARENTLY DEPARTING 17. I STEERED FOR THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY AND A POSSIBLE EXIT ONTO THE DIRT. AS I VEERED TO THE RIGHT, THE APCHING ACFT ROTATED AND COMPETED 1 FLT AROUND THE PATTERN BEFORE LNDG. SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATION WITH THE PLT REVEALED THAT HE HAD NO RADIO AND THAT WHILE HE CLAIMED TO HAVE ME IN SIGHT FROM MY ENTRY INTO THE PATTERN, HE ELECTED TO CONTINUE WITH HIS 17 DEP. THOUGH I HAD LOOKED FOR ACFT ON THE GND AND IN THE AIR WHEN I ENTERED THE PATTERN, I NEVER SAW THIS ACFT UNTIL MY WHEELS WERE ON THE GND. WHILE RADIOS HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN KNOWN TO FAIL, THEY ARE STILL THE MAIN SOURCE OF COM AND THE FACT THAT THE REGS ALLOW FOR FLT W/O THEM SHOWS AN APPALLING LACK OF CONCERN FOR PRUDENT AIR SAFETY FUNDAMENTALS. RADIOS SHOULD BE MANDATORY EQUIP ON ANY AND ALL ACFT.
