Narrative:

Small aircraft X was cleared to land on runway 34 eug. Small aircraft Y was cleared at the midfield intersection to depart runway 3. I was giving flight instruction at the time we were just about wheels down. I called the tower to tell them of the incursion and state our intention to land. When I let up on the button I got the instruction to go around. I said negative, the go around came at the same time the wheels were touching. My student started to come up on the power, then heard me say negative. He came back off the power. There was approximately 3000' of sep and a landing in my opinion was my safest option. I went to talk to the tower supervisor and talked to the chief. He stated he was told we were still airborne.

Title: SMA X HAD LESS THAN STANDARD SEPARATION FROM SMA Y. SYSTEM ERROR. SMA X LANDED ON OCCUPIED RWY PLT DEVIATION.

Narrative: SMA X WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 34 EUG. SMA Y WAS CLRED AT THE MIDFIELD INTXN TO DEPART RWY 3. I WAS GIVING FLT INSTRUCTION AT THE TIME WE WERE JUST ABOUT WHEELS DOWN. I CALLED THE TWR TO TELL THEM OF THE INCURSION AND STATE OUR INTENTION TO LAND. WHEN I LET UP ON THE BUTTON I GOT THE INSTRUCTION TO GO AROUND. I SAID NEGATIVE, THE GO AROUND CAME AT THE SAME TIME THE WHEELS WERE TOUCHING. MY STUDENT STARTED TO COME UP ON THE PWR, THEN HEARD ME SAY NEGATIVE. HE CAME BACK OFF THE PWR. THERE WAS APPROX 3000' OF SEP AND A LNDG IN MY OPINION WAS MY SAFEST OPTION. I WENT TO TALK TO THE TWR SUPVR AND TALKED TO THE CHIEF. HE STATED HE WAS TOLD WE WERE STILL AIRBORNE.
