Narrative:
While landing runway 15 at hwv, an aircraft passed from right to left in front of me, causing a near midair collision. The aircraft involved was a low wing aircraft. I saw the aircraft at a distance of 100 ft horizontal and 200 ft vertical from me. I believe the situation happened because the low wing was practicing a VOR runway 6 approach to hwv, while I was landing, and completely disrupted the traffic pattern. A near midair report has been filed with the farmingdale FSDO.

Title: NMAC BTWN A HIGH WING SMA SEL ON SHORT FINAL AT AN UNCTLED ARPT AND ANOTHER SMA, LOW WING, XING FROM R TO L AS IF COMPLETING A VOR PRACTICE APCH.
Narrative: WHILE LNDG RWY 15 AT HWV, AN ACFT PASSED FROM R TO L IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING A NMAC. THE ACFT INVOLVED WAS A LOW WING ACFT. I SAW THE ACFT AT A DISTANCE OF 100 FT HORIZ AND 200 FT VERT FROM ME. I BELIEVE THE SIT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE LOW WING WAS PRACTICING A VOR RWY 6 APCH TO HWV, WHILE I WAS LNDG, AND COMPLETELY DISRUPTED THE TFC PATTERN. A NEAR MIDAIR RPT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE FARMINGDALE FSDO.
