Air Traffic Incident | Pilot Deviation |
Narrative:
I landed my aircraft and another pilot took evasive action. He used no radio, flew no pattern and I was dead right. Please print this to emphasize the see and be seen issue. I never saw him. Probably if I looked again for a straight in approach, I may have seen him. During my approach I saw a 172 flying north over the intercoastal waterway. He was not in the pattern and was too far north to enter a standard pattern. The tetrahedron was facing the west. Additionally, I monitored and used the unicom. The unicom frequency was not manned at the time that I landed and after the incident mr X told me that his radios were not working. That is why he came back to the airport. I never heard him on the radio. My first standard VFR approach to lantana was a balked landing as I did not like the approach speed and decided to go around. Mr X stated to me that he had seen me 'takeoff.' during all of this I announced my position and intentions over the unicom, flew a standard pattern and scanned the pattern for other aircraft and I never saw or heard any aircraft in the pattern to lantana. Since my aircraft approach speed is in excess of 100 mph, I require more runway than a cessna 150 or 172. The visibility of my cassutt IIIM is similar to a pitts on the rollout, but visibility in the flying mode is excellent. I was at the end of my rollout when the 172 went past me, and my suspicions are he never flew a standard VFR pattern and he landed after I was on the runway.

Title: NMAC. ONE ACFT ON LNDG ROLLOUT, OTHER GAR. NON TWR ARPT.
Narrative: I LANDED MY ACFT AND ANOTHER PLT TOOK EVASIVE ACTION. HE USED NO RADIO, FLEW NO PATTERN AND I WAS DEAD RIGHT. PLEASE PRINT THIS TO EMPHASIZE THE SEE AND BE SEEN ISSUE. I NEVER SAW HIM. PROBABLY IF I LOOKED AGAIN FOR A STRAIGHT IN APCH, I MAY HAVE SEEN HIM. DURING MY APCH I SAW A 172 FLYING N OVER THE INTERCOASTAL WATERWAY. HE WAS NOT IN THE PATTERN AND WAS TOO FAR N TO ENTER A STANDARD PATTERN. THE TETRAHEDRON WAS FACING THE W. ADDITIONALLY, I MONITORED AND USED THE UNICOM. THE UNICOM FREQ WAS NOT MANNED AT THE TIME THAT I LANDED AND AFTER THE INCIDENT MR X TOLD ME THAT HIS RADIOS WERE NOT WORKING. THAT IS WHY HE CAME BACK TO THE ARPT. I NEVER HEARD HIM ON THE RADIO. MY FIRST STANDARD VFR APCH TO LANTANA WAS A BALKED LNDG AS I DID NOT LIKE THE APCH SPD AND DECIDED TO GAR. MR X STATED TO ME THAT HE HAD SEEN ME 'TKOF.' DURING ALL OF THIS I ANNOUNCED MY POS AND INTENTIONS OVER THE UNICOM, FLEW A STANDARD PATTERN AND SCANNED THE PATTERN FOR OTHER ACFT AND I NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANY ACFT IN THE PATTERN TO LANTANA. SINCE MY ACFT APCH SPD IS IN EXCESS OF 100 MPH, I REQUIRE MORE RWY THAN A CESSNA 150 OR 172. THE VISIBILITY OF MY CASSUTT IIIM IS SIMILAR TO A PITTS ON THE ROLLOUT, BUT VISIBILITY IN THE FLYING MODE IS EXCELLENT. I WAS AT THE END OF MY ROLLOUT WHEN THE 172 WENT PAST ME, AND MY SUSPICIONS ARE HE NEVER FLEW A STANDARD VFR PATTERN AND HE LANDED AFTER I WAS ON THE RWY.
