Narrative:

I was preparing to cross runway 32 at toledo metcalf airport (TDZ) from the south taxiway in the vicinity of the approach end of runway 32. I stopped short of the hold short line. I looked to the east toward the approach end of runway 14 and then looked west to the approach end of runway 32. The aircraft radio was on and tuned to the CTAF frequency. The audio panel was set to speaker and I was using the hand microphone without a headset. At the time I was preparing to cross runway 32 there was another aircraft on the opposite side taxiway. I looked again to the west (left) and announced on the CTAF frequency that I was going to taxi on runway 32. I looked away from the runway to position the microphone in the bracket and pulled onto runway 32. At the center of the runway I saw the learjet coming directly at my aircraft and about 2500 ft away. We both steered to the right side of the runway, my aircraft on the north side and other aircraft on the south side of runway 32/14. The horizontal distance between aircraft was approximately 20 ft. While I had looked up the runway, I did not see the lear nor did I hear him announce his position in the pattern. We were both very fortunate. Human performance considerations: my attention was diverted from the runway when I replaced the hand microphone in the storage bracket. If I had been using a headset, my attention would have remained focused on the runway and I might have seen the lear landing.

Title: C150 PLT ENCOUNTERS OPPOSITE DIRECTION LNDG TFC ON UNCTLED ARPT RWY.

Narrative: I WAS PREPARING TO CROSS RWY 32 AT TOLEDO METCALF ARPT (TDZ) FROM THE S TXWY IN THE VICINITY OF THE APCH END OF RWY 32. I STOPPED SHORT OF THE HOLD SHORT LINE. I LOOKED TO THE E TOWARD THE APCH END OF RWY 14 AND THEN LOOKED W TO THE APCH END OF RWY 32. THE ACFT RADIO WAS ON AND TUNED TO THE CTAF FREQ. THE AUDIO PANEL WAS SET TO SPEAKER AND I WAS USING THE HAND MIKE WITHOUT A HEADSET. AT THE TIME I WAS PREPARING TO CROSS RWY 32 THERE WAS ANOTHER ACFT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE TXWY. I LOOKED AGAIN TO THE W (L) AND ANNOUNCED ON THE CTAF FREQ THAT I WAS GOING TO TAXI ON RWY 32. I LOOKED AWAY FROM THE RWY TO POS THE MIKE IN THE BRACKET AND PULLED ONTO RWY 32. AT THE CTR OF THE RWY I SAW THE LEARJET COMING DIRECTLY AT MY ACFT AND ABOUT 2500 FT AWAY. WE BOTH STEERED TO THE R SIDE OF THE RWY, MY ACFT ON THE N SIDE AND OTHER ACFT ON THE S SIDE OF RWY 32/14. THE HORIZ DISTANCE BTWN ACFT WAS APPROX 20 FT. WHILE I HAD LOOKED UP THE RWY, I DID NOT SEE THE LEAR NOR DID I HEAR HIM ANNOUNCE HIS POS IN THE PATTERN. WE WERE BOTH VERY FORTUNATE. HUMAN PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS: MY ATTN WAS DIVERTED FROM THE RWY WHEN I REPLACED THE HAND MIKE IN THE STORAGE BRACKET. IF I HAD BEEN USING A HEADSET, MY ATTN WOULD HAVE REMAINED FOCUSED ON THE RWY AND I MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE LEAR LNDG.
