Narrative:
Returning from a photo flight I established contact with unicom 10 mi southeast. At 5 mi out I asked for advisory. (The frequency was relatively clear.) the advisory reply was, 'winds 360 degrees and light, no local traffic.' I was in position to enter a 4 mi left base. Normal is right traffic. After checking for traffic, I announced that I would use runway 32. I turned 20 degrees left. The LORAN said 4.3 NM, I announced a 4 mi base runway 32. I announced turning final and announced a 2 mi final runway 32. I was stabilized in the approach, configured, plus speed at 3 mi. I landed 1/3 of the way down the runway and allowed the airplane to slow to taxi speed without braking. Approximately 50 ft beyond the runway 26 intersection, I turned the aircraft around (180 degrees) and announced that I was going to back taxi runway 32. After turning the airplane, the cherokee 235 went by on its landing roll. It was doing approximately 50 KTS when it passed. The airport manager was outside and watched the incident. I heard no radio calls. The individual monitoring the unicom heard no radio calls. The operators of this aircraft (a flying club) had a previous incident when they landed on a tomahawk on short final. Both radios were not on the unicom frequency. Local pilots joke that when the cherokee flies, they don't. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter was flying a cessna 172 when he had the ground conflict with the piper cherokee 235. The airport manager said to the reporter that he did not know what to do about the activities of the 'flying club.' the reporter said that he was going to call the FAA hotline about the situation.

Title: TFC PATTERN PROC. GA PLT RPTS THAT ANOTHER GA PLT MADE A LNDG AND ALMOST HIT HIM AS HE WAS TAXIING TO THE RAMP.
Narrative: RETURNING FROM A PHOTO FLT I ESTABLISHED CONTACT WITH UNICOM 10 MI SE. AT 5 MI OUT I ASKED FOR ADVISORY. (THE FREQ WAS RELATIVELY CLR.) THE ADVISORY REPLY WAS, 'WINDS 360 DEGS AND LIGHT, NO LCL TFC.' I WAS IN POS TO ENTER A 4 MI L BASE. NORMAL IS R TFC. AFTER CHKING FOR TFC, I ANNOUNCED THAT I WOULD USE RWY 32. I TURNED 20 DEGS L. THE LORAN SAID 4.3 NM, I ANNOUNCED A 4 MI BASE RWY 32. I ANNOUNCED TURNING FINAL AND ANNOUNCED A 2 MI FINAL RWY 32. I WAS STABILIZED IN THE APCH, CONFIGURED, PLUS SPD AT 3 MI. I LANDED 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RWY AND ALLOWED THE AIRPLANE TO SLOW TO TAXI SPD WITHOUT BRAKING. APPROX 50 FT BEYOND THE RWY 26 INTXN, I TURNED THE ACFT AROUND (180 DEGS) AND ANNOUNCED THAT I WAS GOING TO BACK TAXI RWY 32. AFTER TURNING THE AIRPLANE, THE CHEROKEE 235 WENT BY ON ITS LNDG ROLL. IT WAS DOING APPROX 50 KTS WHEN IT PASSED. THE ARPT MGR WAS OUTSIDE AND WATCHED THE INCIDENT. I HEARD NO RADIO CALLS. THE INDIVIDUAL MONITORING THE UNICOM HEARD NO RADIO CALLS. THE OPERATORS OF THIS ACFT (A FLYING CLUB) HAD A PREVIOUS INCIDENT WHEN THEY LANDED ON A TOMAHAWK ON SHORT FINAL. BOTH RADIOS WERE NOT ON THE UNICOM FREQ. LCL PLTS JOKE THAT WHEN THE CHEROKEE FLIES, THEY DON'T. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR WAS FLYING A CESSNA 172 WHEN HE HAD THE GND CONFLICT WITH THE PIPER CHEROKEE 235. THE ARPT MGR SAID TO THE RPTR THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES OF THE 'FLYING CLUB.' THE RPTR SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO CALL THE FAA HOTLINE ABOUT THE SIT.
