BE99 EXECUTED A GAR WHEN MIDFIELD TFC ANNOUNCED; 'GO AROUND!'

Narrative

I DEPARTED HDG FOR PAYSON; AZ; 15 MI FROM PAYSON TUNED INTO AWOS -- WIND 160 DEGS AT 8 KTS; ALTIMETER 30.05. BEGAN DSCNT FROM CRUISE ALT 10500 FT AND MADE RADIO CALL REGARDING POS AND INTENTIONS TO LAND STRAIGHT-IN RWY 24. 10 MI FROM PAYSON REPEATED RADIO CALL. A C172 RESPONDED ENTERING A DOWNWIND FOR RWY 24 AND THAT THEY WERE HAVING PROBS HEARING OTHER RADIO CALLS. I CALLED THE CESSNA ON THE CHANCE THAT THEY COULD HEAR AND THAT THEY WERE XMITTING LOUD AND CLR. ANOTHER ACFT THEN CALLED PAYSON TO THE S OF THE ARPT AND WOULD BE XING MIDFIELD TO ENTER DOWNWIND. I CALLED A 5 MI FINAL FOR RWY 24 STATING MY INTENTIONS. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CESSNA IN THE PATTERN. I ASKED THE ACFT TO THE S INBOUND IF THEY COULD SEE THE ACFT IN THE PATTERN DUE TO MY VERY LIMITED VISIBILITY DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN. THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY OTHER ACFT IN THE PATTERN AND WE BOTH COMMENTED THAT THE CESSNA HAD PROBABLY ALREADY LANDED. I CALLED 2/3 MI FINAL. I HAD LIMITED VISIBILITY INTO THE SUN; VISORS DOWN AND SUNGLASSES DUE TO WINDSHIELD GLARE. I CALLED SHORT FINAL 1 MI FROM THE THRESHOLD OF RWY 24 AND BROUGHT TORQUE 500 FLAPS FULL GEAR DOWN. APPROX 1000 FT FROM THE THRESHOLD; THE ACFT FROM THE S AT MIDFIELD CALLED 'ACFT LNDG OPPOSITE DIRECTION; GO AROUND; GO AROUND.' I IMMEDIATELY EXECUTED AN EMER GAR AND CLBED OUT TO THE R SIDE OF RWY 24. I DID NOT AT ANY TIME HAVE A VISUAL ON THE ACFT LNDG IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE ACFT XING MIDFIELD CALLED THAT THEY WOULD PASS BEHIND ME AND ENTER A DOWNWIND. I TURNED TO THE R AND OPENED A DOWNWIND. THE ACFT XING INFORMED ME THAT THE CESSNA APPEARED FROM THE W AT THE LAST MIN. THE CESSNA LANDED AND PARKED AT THE FBO AND NO ONE WAS WITH THE ACFT WHEN I LANDED. I INQUIRED IF ANYONE KNEW THE PERSON FLYING OR IF ANYONE HAD HEARD THE RADIO CALLS. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: SUN SETTING; LOW VISIBILITY; ACFT IN PATTERN CALLING WRONG RWY; IE; RWY 24 NOT RWY 6. NO RADIO CALLS FROM OTHER ACFT.
