Narrative:

The problem occurred on a local multi-engine training flight. After completing our maneuvers in the local practice area southwest of the airport, we were returning to the airport. We monitored CTAF and heard a cessna reporting a left pattern on the turf runway 8L at F45 airport. We decided that we would land on runway 8R and that we would fly a practice ILS runway 8R. We made traffic calls starting 10 NM west of the airport. We made additional calls 5 NM, 3 NM and 1 mi final runway 8R. We did not hear any other traffic at the airport, however, we were looking due to the high volume of glider traffic at the airport. On short final, approximately 1000 ft from the threshold, we saw the C172 on short final in the opposite direction on runway 26L. We immediately started a go around and a right turn sbound. The C172 then started a go around and a left turn, also sbound. Seeing this, we were forced to make an immediate left turn to avoid a possible collision. We announced our go around on CTAF. The C172 then announced a crosswind runway 26L and final runway 26L. After clearing the pattern, we returned for a standard downwind entry on runway 26L. I estimate the winds to be 180 degrees at 10 KTS, favoring runway 13 at F45.

Title: TFC CONFLICT AT UNCTLED ARPT.

Narrative: THE PROB OCCURRED ON A LCL MULTI-ENG TRAINING FLT. AFTER COMPLETING OUR MANEUVERS IN THE LCL PRACTICE AREA SW OF THE ARPT, WE WERE RETURNING TO THE ARPT. WE MONITORED CTAF AND HEARD A CESSNA RPTING A L PATTERN ON THE TURF RWY 8L AT F45 ARPT. WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD LAND ON RWY 8R AND THAT WE WOULD FLY A PRACTICE ILS RWY 8R. WE MADE TFC CALLS STARTING 10 NM W OF THE ARPT. WE MADE ADDITIONAL CALLS 5 NM, 3 NM AND 1 MI FINAL RWY 8R. WE DID NOT HEAR ANY OTHER TFC AT THE ARPT, HOWEVER, WE WERE LOOKING DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF GLIDER TFC AT THE ARPT. ON SHORT FINAL, APPROX 1000 FT FROM THE THRESHOLD, WE SAW THE C172 ON SHORT FINAL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON RWY 26L. WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED A GAR AND A R TURN SBOUND. THE C172 THEN STARTED A GAR AND A L TURN, ALSO SBOUND. SEEING THIS, WE WERE FORCED TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE L TURN TO AVOID A POSSIBLE COLLISION. WE ANNOUNCED OUR GAR ON CTAF. THE C172 THEN ANNOUNCED A XWIND RWY 26L AND FINAL RWY 26L. AFTER CLRING THE PATTERN, WE RETURNED FOR A STANDARD DOWNWIND ENTRY ON RWY 26L. I ESTIMATE THE WINDS TO BE 180 DEGS AT 10 KTS, FAVORING RWY 13 AT F45.
