Narrative:

On a day VFR pleasure flight from ruq to 3n8, while landing on runway 20 at 3n8 another aircraft was taxiing on runway 02. The aircraft already on the runway was not seen by myself until I had just landed. After seeing the other aircraft I immediately took back off. The other aircraft went to one side of the runway and I went to the other. While entering the traffic pattern I monitored the CTAF and announced my intentions but heard no communication from the other aircraft. If the airplane on the ground had used runway 20 which was the favored runway for wind and announced his intentions on the CTAF this incident could have been prevented. Also, if I had observed the traffic on the ground I could have taken action sooner.

Title: SMA ON APCH AT NON TWR ARPT SIGHTS OPPOSITION TFC. MAKES A GAR.

Narrative: ON A DAY VFR PLEASURE FLT FROM RUQ TO 3N8, WHILE LNDG ON RWY 20 AT 3N8 ANOTHER ACFT WAS TAXIING ON RWY 02. THE ACFT ALREADY ON THE RWY WAS NOT SEEN BY MYSELF UNTIL I HAD JUST LANDED. AFTER SEEING THE OTHER ACFT I IMMEDIATELY TOOK BACK OFF. THE OTHER ACFT WENT TO ONE SIDE OF THE RWY AND I WENT TO THE OTHER. WHILE ENTERING THE TFC PATTERN I MONITORED THE CTAF AND ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS BUT HEARD NO COM FROM THE OTHER ACFT. IF THE AIRPLANE ON THE GND HAD USED RWY 20 WHICH WAS THE FAVORED RWY FOR WIND AND ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTIONS ON THE CTAF THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. ALSO, IF I HAD OBSERVED THE TFC ON THE GND I COULD HAVE TAKEN ACTION SOONER.
