Narrative:

On 6/fri/90, pilot was approaching gwinnett county airport near atlanta, GA, under VFR conditions with visibility 5+ mi and haze, flying his light twin aircraft approximately 10 mi east of the field. At approximately 100' AGL he called 123.05 MHZ (CTAF) for advisory west/O receiving any reply. Just north of the field the pilot observed the wind indicator showing northeast wind with little or no intensity. There were no aircraft in the pattern nor on the runway. After transmitting in the blind 'turning final runway 7,' a long (approximately 1 mi) final approach was established west of the airport to runway 7. As soon as the gear and flaps extended at about 700', the VASI was intercepted. At approximately 1/3 mi from the approach end of the runway an unidented single small aircraft was observed head-on and right above the approach end of runway 7 and at about 100-150' below initiating a shallow right-hand climbing turn. Apparently the unidented pilot of the small aircraft made a takeoff (or go around) from runway 25 (ignoring the wind indicator) and he/she did not observe the landing aircraft on the straight in final to runway 7. We passed each other with sufficient latitude sep and altitude difference. Following this, I landed the aircraft safely on runway 7. The above described incident was caused by the lack of sufficient visibility contact by either or both pilots involved. After this incident an unidented man stating that he was an FAA employee asked me to show my pilot certificate, medical certificate and sectional cart (atl) in my possession. I showed the certificates and chart. The chart in question was outdated with obsolete frequency information. Because of this the man was assuming that the wrong frequency was used to contact the airport. I assured him that I knew and used the correct frequency and used proper procedures. The man indicated that I would be notified by his office and left west/O hearing any explanation. For reference, please find attached a copy of the flight plan showing gwinnett county airport as the point of destination.

Title: PLT OF LIGHT TWIN MAKING FINAL APCH INTO LZU SEES OPPOSITE DIRECTION TRAFFIC DEPARTING. PLT OF LIGHT TWIN HAD ANNOUNCED ON CTAF, BUT FAA INSPECTOR DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM BECAUSE HE HAD AN OUTDATED CHART WITH AN OLD FREQ IN HIS POSSESSION.

Narrative: ON 6/FRI/90, PLT WAS APCHING GWINNETT COUNTY ARPT NEAR ATLANTA, GA, UNDER VFR CONDITIONS WITH VISIBILITY 5+ MI AND HAZE, FLYING HIS LIGHT TWIN ACFT APPROX 10 MI E OF THE FIELD. AT APPROX 100' AGL HE CALLED 123.05 MHZ (CTAF) FOR ADVISORY W/O RECEIVING ANY REPLY. JUST N OF THE FIELD THE PLT OBSERVED THE WIND INDICATOR SHOWING NE WIND WITH LITTLE OR NO INTENSITY. THERE WERE NO ACFT IN THE PATTERN NOR ON THE RWY. AFTER XMITTING IN THE BLIND 'TURNING FINAL RWY 7,' A LONG (APPROX 1 MI) FINAL APCH WAS ESTABLISHED W OF THE ARPT TO RWY 7. AS SOON AS THE GEAR AND FLAPS EXTENDED AT ABOUT 700', THE VASI WAS INTERCEPTED. AT APPROX 1/3 MI FROM THE APCH END OF THE RWY AN UNIDENTED SINGLE SMA WAS OBSERVED HEAD-ON AND RIGHT ABOVE THE APCH END OF RWY 7 AND AT ABOUT 100-150' BELOW INITIATING A SHALLOW RIGHT-HAND CLBING TURN. APPARENTLY THE UNIDENTED PLT OF THE SMA MADE A TKOF (OR GAR) FROM RWY 25 (IGNORING THE WIND INDICATOR) AND HE/SHE DID NOT OBSERVE THE LNDG ACFT ON THE STRAIGHT IN FINAL TO RWY 7. WE PASSED EACH OTHER WITH SUFFICIENT LAT SEP AND ALT DIFFERENCE. FOLLOWING THIS, I LANDED THE ACFT SAFELY ON RWY 7. THE ABOVE DESCRIBED INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT VIS CONTACT BY EITHER OR BOTH PLTS INVOLVED. AFTER THIS INCIDENT AN UNIDENTED MAN STATING THAT HE WAS AN FAA EMPLOYEE ASKED ME TO SHOW MY PLT CERTIFICATE, MEDICAL CERTIFICATE AND SECTIONAL CART (ATL) IN MY POSSESSION. I SHOWED THE CERTIFICATES AND CHART. THE CHART IN QUESTION WAS OUTDATED WITH OBSOLETE FREQ INFO. BECAUSE OF THIS THE MAN WAS ASSUMING THAT THE WRONG FREQ WAS USED TO CONTACT THE ARPT. I ASSURED HIM THAT I KNEW AND USED THE CORRECT FREQ AND USED PROPER PROCS. THE MAN INDICATED THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED BY HIS OFFICE AND LEFT W/O HEARING ANY EXPLANATION. FOR REF, PLEASE FIND ATTACHED A COPY OF THE FLT PLAN SHOWING GWINNETT COUNTY ARPT AS THE POINT OF DEST.
