F27 CREW FOUND A MIL C130 WAS LNDG DOWNWIND AND AGAINST ESTABLISHED FLOW OF TFC AT ACV.

Narrative

WHILE TAXIING FOR TKOF RWY 32 AT ACV; WE MONITORED THE UNICOM FREQ AND IDENTED 2 ACFT INBOUND FOR LNDG. ONE WAS A COMMUTER TURBOPROP; 15 MI OUT ESTABLISHED ON THE ILS RWY 32. THE OTHERS POS; A MIL HERCULES C130 RPTED AHEAD OF THE COMMUTER. WE ASKED THE C130 CREW FOR A POS RPT. THE C130 RPTED 5 MI ON FINAL AND #1 FOR LNDG. CONSIDERING THE WINDS OF 260 DEGS AT 6 KTS WE UNDERSTOOD THE C130 POS AS 5 MI ON FINAL FOR RWY 32. WE ANNOUNCED OUR INTENTIONS TO DEPART RWY 32. THE C130 CREW ACKNOWLEDGED AND IMPLIED THEY WOULD KEEP AN EYE FOR US. AS WE TAXIED INTO POS; WE SAW THE LIGHTS OF THE C130 APPROX 3 MI FROM RWY 14; WITH THE INTENTIONS OF LNDG AT RWY 14. BEFORE WE HAD THE CHANCE TO CLR RWY 32; THE C130 BROKE THE APCH AND ENTERED THE L-HAND DOWNWIND FOR RWY 32. WE DEPARTED RWY 32 AND NO FURTHER CORRECTION WAS NECESSARY. A NUMBER OF PROCS WERE NOT FOLLOWED BY THE C130 CREW AND OUR CREW. THE C130 CREW SHOULD HAVE INFORMED US OF THEIR POS IN REF TO THE ARPT; THEIR PLANNED LNDG RWY AND ALT. BEFORE TAXIING INTO POS ON RWY 32 I VISUALLY CHKED FOR ANY TFC AND SAW NONE. MY FO RPTED LIGHTS OUT (FLEW FINAL FOR RWY 32 COMMUTER ACFT); WHICH WE ASSUMED WERE THE C130 LIGHTS. I VISUALLY IDENTED THE C130 AS I STARTED ALIGNING MY ACFT ON THE RWY 32 CTRLINE. WE SHOULD HAVE INQUIRED THE C130 CREW FOR MORE POSITIVE INFO; ALSO NOT HAVING TCASII PREVENTED US FROM GETTING A BETTER PICTURE OF THE POS OF OTHER ACFT INBOUND FOR ACV.
