A C172 INSTRUCTOR PLT LANDS HER ACFT ON RWY 26 WHILE ANOTHER ACFT WAS ABOUT TO CLR THE RWY AT FTY; GA.

Narrative

I DEPARTED ON A LCL VFR TRAINING FLT FROM FTY ON SEP/XA/99 AT ABOUT AB00. WE HAD SOME RADIO PROBS ON THE GND ONE TIME; BUT THEY WERE FINE. THE WX WAS 5500 FT BROKEN WITH 7 MI VISIBILITY. WE TOOK OFF ON RWY 8 AND HEADED NW. THE TWR TOLD ME THAT A FREQ CHANGE WAS APPROVED WHILE TURNING XWIND TO DEPART TO THE NW. THE WX STARTED TO DIMINISH; SO MY STUDENT AND I HEADED BACK TO THE ARPT. THERE ARE SOME TOWER TANKS LOCATED 8 MI NW OF FTY. AT THE TOWER TANKS; I CALLED THE TWR TO TELL THEM THAT WE WERE ON OUR WAY IN. THE VISIBILITY IS NOW MARGINAL AND THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN VERY HEAVILY. THE TWR THEN TOLD ME TO IDENT; I DID. AFTER A WHILE HE SAID I WAS 1 1/2 MI FROM THE ARPT; TURN TO ENTER A R BASE RWY 26. I CONTINUED THE APCH. WHEN I GOT ON THE GND; I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL THE TWR. THE TWR SAID THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO GO AROUND DUE TO ANOTHER AIRPLANE. I HEARD NOTHING. THEY CALLED A FEW TIMES THEY SAID; BUT I DIDN'T HEAR THEM. THEY SAID I DID NOT COMPLY WITH ATC. THEY SAID THAT THE OTHER AIRPLANE WAS NOT COMPLETELY OFF THE RWY WHEN I CROSSED THE THRESHOLD. I SAW NO ONE ON THE RWY. I DID SEE A BARON OFF OF THE RWY ON A TXWY. THE WX WAS VERY BAD AND RAINY. I HAVE DONE MOST OF MY TRAINING AT THE NASHVILLE ARPT. I HAVE ALWAYS COMPLIED WITH ATC INSTRUCTIONS. THE TWR SAYS A PERSON WILL CONTACT ME FROM THE LCL FSDO TO TALK. A LETTER OF DEV MAY BE WRITTEN. I DISAGREE WITH WHAT THE MAN IN THE TWR SAYS HE SAW WITH THE OTHER ACFT AND WITH WHAT I SAW.
