Narrative:
Approaching the ani airport from the northwest, I made a position report at 5 mi and stated my intentions to land on runway 28. In the meantime, a super cub reported 10 mi southwest. On reporting downwind for runway 28, the super cub reported downwind just after my report. I did not have visual contact with him but assumed he was behind and outboard of me because he had reported 3 mi out just prior to my reporting downwind. A C170 was at my 11 O'clock position and lower on final for runway 28 while I was on downwind. I followed that traffic and landed. On clearing the runway, I noticed a super cub circle low in a l-hand turn with another cub in the backgnd on final at the same level on final. Evidently, I had almost landed on top of a cub and his evasive action saved the day. On shutdown, an FAA inspector who had been a passenger in the C170 took my credentials and told me my radio was hard to read as did the other 2 cub pilots. On the next flight out, I checked my radios with another aircraft and he stated that my transmission was 3 X 5. To prevent such an occurrence from happening again, I believe I should have challenged the super cub that reported downwind if he had me in sight. I was not aware nor did I hear or was aware of a second cub in the pattern. I evidently cut the second cub off on final.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A LNDG C207 HAS A CRITICAL GND CONFLICT WITH A LANDED SUPER CUB AFTER CUTTING OUT ANOTHER PA18 SUPER CUB ON FINAL AT ANI, AK.
Narrative: APCHING THE ANI ARPT FROM THE NW, I MADE A POS RPT AT 5 MI AND STATED MY INTENTIONS TO LAND ON RWY 28. IN THE MEANTIME, A SUPER CUB RPTED 10 MI SW. ON RPTING DOWNWIND FOR RWY 28, THE SUPER CUB RPTED DOWNWIND JUST AFTER MY RPT. I DID NOT HAVE VISUAL CONTACT WITH HIM BUT ASSUMED HE WAS BEHIND AND OUTBOARD OF ME BECAUSE HE HAD RPTED 3 MI OUT JUST PRIOR TO MY RPTING DOWNWIND. A C170 WAS AT MY 11 O'CLOCK POS AND LOWER ON FINAL FOR RWY 28 WHILE I WAS ON DOWNWIND. I FOLLOWED THAT TFC AND LANDED. ON CLRING THE RWY, I NOTICED A SUPER CUB CIRCLE LOW IN A L-HAND TURN WITH ANOTHER CUB IN THE BACKGND ON FINAL AT THE SAME LEVEL ON FINAL. EVIDENTLY, I HAD ALMOST LANDED ON TOP OF A CUB AND HIS EVASIVE ACTION SAVED THE DAY. ON SHUTDOWN, AN FAA INSPECTOR WHO HAD BEEN A PAX IN THE C170 TOOK MY CREDENTIALS AND TOLD ME MY RADIO WAS HARD TO READ AS DID THE OTHER 2 CUB PLTS. ON THE NEXT FLT OUT, I CHKED MY RADIOS WITH ANOTHER ACFT AND HE STATED THAT MY XMISSION WAS 3 X 5. TO PREVENT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, I BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE CHALLENGED THE SUPER CUB THAT RPTED DOWNWIND IF HE HAD ME IN SIGHT. I WAS NOT AWARE NOR DID I HEAR OR WAS AWARE OF A SECOND CUB IN THE PATTERN. I EVIDENTLY CUT THE SECOND CUB OFF ON FINAL.
