C172 INSTRUCTOR REPORTS NEAR COLLISION WITH C414 LANDING OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON RWY 22 AT AEG; AS C414 TOUCHES DOWN THEN GOES AROUND AS C172 STOPS ON RWY.

Narrative

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT AEG; DOUBLE EAGLE II ARPT; IN ALBUQUERQUE; NM; ON JUL/XA/07 AT APPROX XA40. RPTED WX CONDITIONS AT THE TIME SHOWED WINDS FROM 030 DEGS; 4 KTS; SKY CLR; TEMP 24 DEGS C; DEWPOINT 11 DEGS C; ALTIMETER SETTING 30.15 INCHES HG. I WAS FLYING A C172 WITH A STUDENT PLT IN THE TFC PATTERN DOING TOUCH AND GOES ON RWY 4. WE HAD COMPLETED APPROX 5 TRIPS IN THE PATTERN (L TFC) AND THIS WAS OUR FINAL LNDG OF THE DAY. WINDS WERE FAVORING RWY 4; FLUCTUATING IN VELOCITY BTWN 3-8 KTS. AT DOUBLE EAGLE ARPT; THE CALM WIND RWY IS RWY 22; TYPICALLY USED WHEN WINDS ARE LESS THAN 6 KTS. HOWEVER; DUE TO EXISTING TFC ALREADY IN THE PATTERN; MY STUDENT AND I USED RWY 4 TO CONFORM TO ESTABLISHED TFC PRACTICES AND TO PREVENT A CONFLICT. IN OTHER WORDS; WHILE WE TYPICALLY WOULD HAVE USED RWY 22 IN THESE WX CONDITIONS TO PRACTICE OUR TOUCH-AND-GOES; WE USED RWY 4 SINCE ALL OTHER TFC WERE ALREADY USING RWY 4. THE NEAR MISS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN WE FLEW THE PATTERN ONE FINAL TIME; TOUCHED DOWN ON RWY 4; AND BEGAN OUR ROLLOUT WHILE PROCEEDING TO THE NEAREST RWY EXIT. MEANWHILE; ANOTHER ACFT PROCEEDED TO LAND (C414) IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON RWY 22. WE WERE ACFT #1 TO LAND; WITH ANOTHER ACFT FOLLOWING IN BEHIND US ON FINAL (#2) FOR RWY 4. THERE WERE AT LEAST 2 ACFT IN THE TFC PATTERN AT THE TIME; ALL USING RWY 4. THE ONCOMING C414 PROCEEDED TO LAND AND MADE FULL CONTACT WITH THE RWY AND DID NOT EXECUTE A GAR UNTIL I MADE A CALL ON THE CTAF TELLING HIM TO GO AROUND. AS THE C414 ROLLED TOWARDS ME; I TOOK EVASIVE ACTION AND TAXIED THE AIRPLANE TO THE EDGE OF RWY; SINCE THE NEAREST TXWY EXIT WAS SEVERAL HUNDRED FT AHEAD. ALL ACFT USING RWY 4 AT THE TIME MADE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE LCL CTAF; INDICATING THEIR POS WITHIN THE PATTERN; INCLUDING MYSELF. THE C414 APPEARED TO BE CONDUCTING PRACTICE INST APCHS TO RWY 22; BUT DID NOT HEED ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE LCL CTAF THAT THE ACTIVE RWY WAS 4. I DID NOT HEAR XMISSIONS BY THE C414 PLT INDICATING HE WAS GOING TO LAND ON RWY 22. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THIS INCIDENT INCLUDE THE FACT THAT XMISSIONS FOR OTHER TFC AT OTHER ARPTS WERE HEARD ON THE CTAF. OUR CTAF FREQ IS SHARED WITH AT LEAST 4 OTHER ARPTS IN THE VICINITY; INCLUDING AT LEAST 1 ARPT (TAOS) THAT ALSO HAS A RWY 4/22. IN ADDITION; THE PLT FLYING THE C414 HAD A FOREIGN ACCENT AND MAY HAVE HAD A LANGUAGE BARRIER; AND CONSEQUENTLY MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ALL XMISSIONS ON THE CTAF. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SHOULD INCLUDE: 1) EDUCATING PLTS THAT THEY MUST USE THE ACTIVE RWY; REGARDLESS OF WIND DIRECTION; EVEN IF LCL PROCS DICTATE THE USE OF ANOTHER RWY TO PREVENT A CONFLICT. 2) COMMENCE OP OF THE ARPT TWR THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT AT THE ARPT; BUT HAS SAT IDLE FOR MONTHS. 3) INSTITUTE AN ENGLISH COMPETENCY EXAM FOR THOSE PLTS WHOSE NATIVE LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH.
