Narrative

WHILE ON FINAL APCH TO ZZZ RWY 4 I NOTED AN ACFT IN THE AIR SHORT OF RWY 22 IN A L TURN HEADING AWAY FROM THE ARPT. I NOTIFIED THE ACFT BEHIND ME IN THE PATTERN THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ACFT MANEUVERING ON THE OPPOSITE APCHING RWY. I DID NOT KNOW THE MANEUVERING ACFT'S INTENTION BUT HE APPEARED TO BE LEAVING THE AREA. THE FOLLOWING ACFT ACKNOWLEDGED THE XMISSION AND I ANNOUNCED AGAIN THAT I WAS ON SHORT FINAL FOR RWY 4 AT ZZZ. AT 50 FT AGL I NOTED THE OPPOSITE END OF THE RWY AND SAW THE PREVIOUSLY TURNING ACFT HAD COMPLETED A 360 DEG TURN AND WAS DSNDING FROM APPROX 600 FT AGL TO LAND ON RWY 22. I RELAYED ON THE UNICOM 123.075 THAT I WAS IN THE FLARE AND LNDG ON RWY 4 AT ZZZ; HAD OPPOSITE LNDG TFC AND LISTENED FOR AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND INTENTION OF THE OPPOSITE LNDG TFC. I HEARD NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. SINCE I WAS LOW AND IN A LNDG FLARE I CONTINUED THE LNDG WHILE TRYING TO WARN THE OTHER ACFT. AS I TOUCHED DOWN I NOTED THE OPPOSING TFC WAS A LARGE TAIL DRAGGING ACFT IN AN APCH CONFIGN THAT PRECLUDED HIM FROM SEEING MY ACFT. WHILE CONTINUING TO WARN THE OTHER ACFT ON THE UNICOM; I LANDED MY ACFT AND BRAKED AS HARD AS I COULD TO MAKE THE FIRST TURNOFF (APPROX 350 FT). THE OPPOSITE ACFT LANDED AND TURNED OFF AT THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. DURING THE SHORT LNDG BOTH OF MY TIRES DEFLATED FROM THE HVY BRAKING. THE OTHER ACFT WAS A T6. I MADE UNICOM NOTIFICATIONS 5 MI OUT AND CONTINUED TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS UPON ENTERING THE DOWNWIND; UPON DOWNWIND; BASE; AND FINAL. ACFT HAD BEEN DEPARTING ON RWY 4; THE UNICOM ADVISED TFC WAS USING RWY 4; THE WIND FAVORED RWY 4. I FOLLOWED ANOTHER ACFT DOING AN INST PRACTICE APCH TO RWY 4 AND THE ACFT FOLLOWING ME WAS COMMUNICATING THAT HE WAS ENTERING L TFC DOWNWIND FOR RWY 4. SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATIONS WITH THE REGULARS AT THE ARPT WHILE WAITING FOR MY ACFT TO BE FIXED REVEALED THAT SOME LCL PLTS FLY TO THE RWY NUMBERS (APCH END) AND THEN CONDUCT A 360 DEG TURN AND LAND. THIS IS EXTREMELY NON STANDARD; EVEN IF LNDG ON THE SAME RWY AS FOLLOWING TFC IS -- ESSENTIALLY REVERSES TFC AND FLIES TOWARD FOLLOWING TFC. OTHER TFC IN THE PATTERN HAVE NO WAY TO DETERMINE WHAT AN ACFT FLYING CIRCLES OVER THE END OF A RWY IS DOING AND WATCHING AN ACFT APPARENTLY LNDG REVERSE DIRECTION AND FLY AT YOU CAN BE VERY DISRUPTIVE.
