Narrative:

After landing on runway 31 at gnoss, still rolling toward the taxiway intersection, an small aircraft operated by a local radio station, also landed on runway 31. There appeared to be inadequate spacing between the airplanes, the runway being 3300 ft long and should cause one to question the safety of being the second of 2 airplanes on the surface. Our intention to land was broadcast downwind and base in the pattern. Our attention was directed to the small aircraft when the pilot asked our intentions, the other airplane had already landed when we saw it. With inadequate runway remaining for takeoff, we continued to the next taxiway intersection and exited the runway without incident. Better judgement, being less impatient to land, and attention to communication and spacing in the pattern and on runways is required to prevent this type of incident from becoming the type that is often a fatal collision.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: SMA LANDS ON RWY OCCUPIED BY SECOND SMA JUST LANDED.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON RWY 31 AT GNOSS, STILL ROLLING TOWARD THE TXWY INTXN, AN SMA OPERATED BY A LCL RADIO STATION, ALSO LANDED ON RWY 31. THERE APPEARED TO BE INADEQUATE SPACING BTWN THE AIRPLANES, THE RWY BEING 3300 FT LONG AND SHOULD CAUSE ONE TO QUESTION THE SAFETY OF BEING THE SECOND OF 2 AIRPLANES ON THE SURFACE. OUR INTENTION TO LAND WAS BROADCAST DOWNWIND AND BASE IN THE PATTERN. OUR ATTN WAS DIRECTED TO THE SMA WHEN THE PLT ASKED OUR INTENTIONS, THE OTHER AIRPLANE HAD ALREADY LANDED WHEN WE SAW IT. WITH INADEQUATE RWY REMAINING FOR TKOF, WE CONTINUED TO THE NEXT TXWY INTXN AND EXITED THE RWY WITHOUT INCIDENT. BETTER JUDGEMENT, BEING LESS IMPATIENT TO LAND, AND ATTN TO COM AND SPACING IN THE PATTERN AND ON RWYS IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT FROM BECOMING THE TYPE THAT IS OFTEN A FATAL COLLISION.
