Narrative:

We were returning to ftg from gxy in unlimited VFR. My copilot was flying. We listened to AWOS for current WX and wind. The wind was about 170 degrees at 7 KTS. We then tuned unicom for local traffic and advisories. At this time we were about 12 NM northeast of ftg. We heard a cessna 172 making touch and goes on runway 17, also a cessna 206 making touch and goes on runway 8. Runways 26 and 8 are the runways most used in light wind conditions. We planned on using runway 8 to avoid conflict with the local traffic using runways 17 and 8. These airplanes were making all normal position reports in their traffic pattern. We flew a normal 45 degree entry to a right downwind for runway 8. While entering the pattern for runway 8 we had visual contact with both airplanes using runways 17 and 8, and heard all of their position reports. We were also making all normal position reports on our way to runway 8. At no time did we see or hear any other aircraft in the area. My copilot was the PF and making the landing. We were just about to start our flare to land, at this time I saw a cessna 210 (Y) rolling out head on, on runway 26. My copilot did not see the aircraft at all. I took control of the airplane, made a pull-up and go around. We then made an uneventful landing. The cessna 210 then continued taxiing out and departed on runway 8. At no time any radio transmission from him. This incident proves to me and my copilot you can never be too careful or alert during any phase of flight.

Title: 2 GA ACFT EXPERIENCE A CONFLICT AT AN UNCTLED ARPT.

Narrative: WE WERE RETURNING TO FTG FROM GXY IN UNLIMITED VFR. MY COPLT WAS FLYING. WE LISTENED TO AWOS FOR CURRENT WX AND WIND. THE WIND WAS ABOUT 170 DEGS AT 7 KTS. WE THEN TUNED UNICOM FOR LCL TFC AND ADVISORIES. AT THIS TIME WE WERE ABOUT 12 NM NE OF FTG. WE HEARD A CESSNA 172 MAKING TOUCH AND GOES ON RWY 17, ALSO A CESSNA 206 MAKING TOUCH AND GOES ON RWY 8. RWYS 26 AND 8 ARE THE RWYS MOST USED IN LIGHT WIND CONDITIONS. WE PLANNED ON USING RWY 8 TO AVOID CONFLICT WITH THE LCL TFC USING RWYS 17 AND 8. THESE AIRPLANES WERE MAKING ALL NORMAL POS RPTS IN THEIR TFC PATTERN. WE FLEW A NORMAL 45 DEG ENTRY TO A R DOWNWIND FOR RWY 8. WHILE ENTERING THE PATTERN FOR RWY 8 WE HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH BOTH AIRPLANES USING RWYS 17 AND 8, AND HEARD ALL OF THEIR POS RPTS. WE WERE ALSO MAKING ALL NORMAL POS RPTS ON OUR WAY TO RWY 8. AT NO TIME DID WE SEE OR HEAR ANY OTHER ACFT IN THE AREA. MY COPLT WAS THE PF AND MAKING THE LNDG. WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO START OUR FLARE TO LAND, AT THIS TIME I SAW A CESSNA 210 (Y) ROLLING OUT HEAD ON, ON RWY 26. MY COPLT DID NOT SEE THE ACFT AT ALL. I TOOK CTL OF THE AIRPLANE, MADE A PULL-UP AND GAR. WE THEN MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG. THE CESSNA 210 THEN CONTINUED TAXIING OUT AND DEPARTED ON RWY 8. AT NO TIME ANY RADIO XMISSION FROM HIM. THIS INCIDENT PROVES TO ME AND MY COPLT YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL OR ALERT DURING ANY PHASE OF FLT.
