Narrative:

While returning from mosinee with my wife, daughter and son on board on oct/xx/91, the following conflict occurred: I called unicom when 12 NM northwest and obtained a current advisory. When 7 mi out I announced my intentions to land on runway 14. When 4 mi out I again announced my intentions to land on 14. At this time small aircraft Y announced he was approximately 2 mi south and would enter downwind for runway 14. Now aware there would be traffic downwind I alerted my wife to keep a lookout, and then announced my position at 3 1/2 mi final. I announced at 2 1/2 mi and again at 1 1/2. Another aircraft called for an airport advisory and then announced downwind behind the small aircraft Y. The small aircraft Y announced turning base when I was less than a mi from the runway. I believed him to be turning base behind me. I made visual contact when he lifted his left wing to us and had obviously turned base very, very close to the approach end of runway 14, while still near pattern altitude. I don't believe it would have been possible for the small aircraft Y to make anything resembling a normal approach from that position. Later while discussing the incident with my passenger, my wife indicated she made visual contact immediately after I pointed it out, and my daughter, who is a 2ND lieutenant in the civil air patrol and a student pilot had made visual contact just prior to mine. It then occurred to me the small aircraft Y had attempted to 'race' me to the runway. This is the kind of behavior that has no place in aviation. I filed a report with the kenosha regional airport director, in the hope the pilot of small aircraft Y receives instruction on pilot courtesy.

Title: CLOSE PROX GA SMA ON STRAIGHT IN APCH AND GA SMA MAKING NORMAL TFC PATTERN.

Narrative: WHILE RETURNING FROM MOSINEE WITH MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND SON ON BOARD ON OCT/XX/91, THE FOLLOWING CONFLICT OCCURRED: I CALLED UNICOM WHEN 12 NM NW AND OBTAINED A CURRENT ADVISORY. WHEN 7 MI OUT I ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS TO LAND ON RWY 14. WHEN 4 MI OUT I AGAIN ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS TO LAND ON 14. AT THIS TIME SMA Y ANNOUNCED HE WAS APPROX 2 MI S AND WOULD ENTER DOWNWIND FOR RWY 14. NOW AWARE THERE WOULD BE TFC DOWNWIND I ALERTED MY WIFE TO KEEP A LOOKOUT, AND THEN ANNOUNCED MY POS AT 3 1/2 MI FINAL. I ANNOUNCED AT 2 1/2 MI AND AGAIN AT 1 1/2. ANOTHER ACFT CALLED FOR AN ARPT ADVISORY AND THEN ANNOUNCED DOWNWIND BEHIND THE SMA Y. THE SMA Y ANNOUNCED TURNING BASE WHEN I WAS LESS THAN A MI FROM THE RWY. I BELIEVED HIM TO BE TURNING BASE BEHIND ME. I MADE VISUAL CONTACT WHEN HE LIFTED HIS L WING TO US AND HAD OBVIOUSLY TURNED BASE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO THE APCH END OF RWY 14, WHILE STILL NEAR PATTERN ALT. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE FOR THE SMA Y TO MAKE ANYTHING RESEMBLING A NORMAL APCH FROM THAT POS. LATER WHILE DISCUSSING THE INCIDENT WITH MY PAX, MY WIFE INDICATED SHE MADE VISUAL CONTACT IMMEDIATELY AFTER I POINTED IT OUT, AND MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS A 2ND LIEUTENANT IN THE CIVIL AIR PATROL AND A STUDENT PLT HAD MADE VISUAL CONTACT JUST PRIOR TO MINE. IT THEN OCCURRED TO ME THE SMA Y HAD ATTEMPTED TO 'RACE' ME TO THE RWY. THIS IS THE KIND OF BEHAVIOR THAT HAS NO PLACE IN AVIATION. I FILED A RPT WITH THE KENOSHA REGIONAL ARPT DIRECTOR, IN THE HOPE THE PLT OF SMA Y RECEIVES INSTRUCTION ON PLT COURTESY.
