Narrative:
The owner/pilot in command was flying and I was a passenger/observer. He entered the traffic pattern at approximately 800 ft AGL mid-field. Pilot did not monitor CTAF -- he entered base and final and landed without incident. A C-210 (unknown pilot) was on opposite direction final at the time and he had to initiate a go-around to avoid conflict on landing. C-210 pilot was very upset on the ground after landing. Mooney pilot departed before a confrontation occurred. There were no injuries or damage but this event could have been avoided with proper see and avoid.
