Narrative:

While inbound at 10 mi, I transmitted on 122.7 MHZ, 'kerrville traffic, this is mooney 10 mi east, inbound for landing.' later at 5 mi, I transmitted on 122.7 MHZ, 'this is mooney 5 mi east at 3000 ft. Our intentions are to pass directly over the airport, east to west at 3000 ft and make a descending entry to a left downwind, runway 30.' as I passed over the field, I noticed a piper cub followed by a cessna single and a twin taxiing to runway 30. I began my descent and transmitted on 122.7 MHZ, 'this is mooney on left downwind, runway 30.' as I descended to the left downwind, the cub transmitted on 122.7 MHZ, 'kerrville traffic, is there anyone out there?' I responded on 122.7 MHZ, 'yes, this is mooney on a left downwind to runway 30.' (no response from the cub.) on turning a 2.5 mi final, I transmitted, 'kerrville traffic, this is mooney on final, runway 30.' the cub transmitted, 'kerrville traffic, is there anyone out there.' the cessna twin transmitted, 'piper, don't you see the traffic on final?' the cub responded in an excited and emotional voice, 'goddamn it! You're getting me mixed up, kerrville traffic, is there anyone out there?' I transmitted, 'kerrville traffic, we're on a 1 mi final.' the cub responded, 'where are you?' I replied, 'about 100 ft, no, make that 100 yds from you.' the cub transmitted while pulling on to runway 30, 'piper cub departing on runway 30.' the cessna twin transmitted, 'no! Piper, no.' I began a go around passing over the cub which was now on takeoff roll. I re-entered the pattern and landed without incident. After tieing down my aircraft, lineman for FBO, who had heard all the xmissions said, 'boy, was that something!' I said, 'yes, it was.' as we drove from the airport, we noticed the piper cub making a landing on the grass between the taxiway and runway 30. I understand the cub pilot is elderly, has a 'fresh' 3RD class physical, is now operating with a hand-held radio which was recently given to him, and has been involved in a number of incidents as above. Evidently, he can't hear well, became emotionally upset by normal airport events (2 planes on the taxiway behind him and 1 in the pattern), failed to maintain a proper lookout for other aircraft, and generally, operated his aircraft in an unsafe manner. I don't think the cub pilot was ever aware my aircraft was in the vicinity. This person should not be flying, he's going to kill someone, someday.

Title: UNICOM ARPT, RPTR FOLLOWED ALL CORRECT COM PROCS ENTERING PATTERN FOR LNDG. ON SHORT FINAL, A CONFUSED AND INEXPERIENCED PLT TOOK THE RWY FOR TKOF AND RPTR HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION.

Narrative: WHILE INBOUND AT 10 MI, I XMITTED ON 122.7 MHZ, 'KERRVILLE TFC, THIS IS MOONEY 10 MI E, INBOUND FOR LNDG.' LATER AT 5 MI, I XMITTED ON 122.7 MHZ, 'THIS IS MOONEY 5 MI E AT 3000 FT. OUR INTENTIONS ARE TO PASS DIRECTLY OVER THE ARPT, E TO W AT 3000 FT AND MAKE A DSNDING ENTRY TO A L DOWNWIND, RWY 30.' AS I PASSED OVER THE FIELD, I NOTICED A PIPER CUB FOLLOWED BY A CESSNA SINGLE AND A TWIN TAXIING TO RWY 30. I BEGAN MY DSCNT AND XMITTED ON 122.7 MHZ, 'THIS IS MOONEY ON L DOWNWIND, RWY 30.' AS I DSNDED TO THE L DOWNWIND, THE CUB XMITTED ON 122.7 MHZ, 'KERRVILLE TFC, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?' I RESPONDED ON 122.7 MHZ, 'YES, THIS IS MOONEY ON A L DOWNWIND TO RWY 30.' (NO RESPONSE FROM THE CUB.) ON TURNING A 2.5 MI FINAL, I XMITTED, 'KERRVILLE TFC, THIS IS MOONEY ON FINAL, RWY 30.' THE CUB XMITTED, 'KERRVILLE TFC, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE.' THE CESSNA TWIN XMITTED, 'PIPER, DON'T YOU SEE THE TFC ON FINAL?' THE CUB RESPONDED IN AN EXCITED AND EMOTIONAL VOICE, 'GODDAMN IT! YOU'RE GETTING ME MIXED UP, KERRVILLE TFC, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?' I XMITTED, 'KERRVILLE TFC, WE'RE ON A 1 MI FINAL.' THE CUB RESPONDED, 'WHERE ARE YOU?' I REPLIED, 'ABOUT 100 FT, NO, MAKE THAT 100 YDS FROM YOU.' THE CUB XMITTED WHILE PULLING ON TO RWY 30, 'PIPER CUB DEPARTING ON RWY 30.' THE CESSNA TWIN XMITTED, 'NO! PIPER, NO.' I BEGAN A GAR PASSING OVER THE CUB WHICH WAS NOW ON TKOF ROLL. I RE-ENTERED THE PATTERN AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER TIEING DOWN MY ACFT, LINEMAN FOR FBO, WHO HAD HEARD ALL THE XMISSIONS SAID, 'BOY, WAS THAT SOMETHING!' I SAID, 'YES, IT WAS.' AS WE DROVE FROM THE ARPT, WE NOTICED THE PIPER CUB MAKING A LNDG ON THE GRASS BTWN THE TXWY AND RWY 30. I UNDERSTAND THE CUB PLT IS ELDERLY, HAS A 'FRESH' 3RD CLASS PHYSICAL, IS NOW OPERATING WITH A HAND-HELD RADIO WHICH WAS RECENTLY GIVEN TO HIM, AND HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS AS ABOVE. EVIDENTLY, HE CAN'T HEAR WELL, BECAME EMOTIONALLY UPSET BY NORMAL ARPT EVENTS (2 PLANES ON THE TXWY BEHIND HIM AND 1 IN THE PATTERN), FAILED TO MAINTAIN A PROPER LOOKOUT FOR OTHER ACFT, AND GENERALLY, OPERATED HIS ACFT IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. I DON'T THINK THE CUB PLT WAS EVER AWARE MY ACFT WAS IN THE VICINITY. THIS PERSON SHOULD NOT BE FLYING, HE'S GOING TO KILL SOMEONE, SOMEDAY.
