Narrative:

The event began on an IFR approach into akr. Akron approach advised us of traffic at 6 O'clock, 1 mi, 700 ft below us. We spotted the aircraft and cancelled IFR. We changed to unicom, announced our position, and initiated our descent after we had enough separation. As we began our descent from MDA to land, I spotted the aircraft on an upwind. During this time we hadn't heard a single radio call from the other small aircraft. Upon reaching the flare, we elected to do a go around. We radioed our actions and began our climb. We then noticed the other aircraft turning crosswind and began on a collision course towards us. Upon noticing this situation, we made another radio call announcing our position. Being in a climb we had very few options available and the other aircraft continued towards us. Upon realizing the other airplane was not giving right of way to the least maneuverable aircraft, we had to drop 20 degrees of flaps to provide enough lift to get above the aircraft thus avoiding a collision. In order to prevent this in the future, all aircraft should participate on unicom in broadcasting position and intentions, as well as knowing the rules in part 91 of aircraft right-of- way.

Title: 2 SMAS HAD AN NMAC AT AN UNCTLED ARPT.

Narrative: THE EVENT BEGAN ON AN IFR APCH INTO AKR. AKRON APCH ADVISED US OF TFC AT 6 O'CLOCK, 1 MI, 700 FT BELOW US. WE SPOTTED THE ACFT AND CANCELLED IFR. WE CHANGED TO UNICOM, ANNOUNCED OUR POS, AND INITIATED OUR DSCNT AFTER WE HAD ENOUGH SEPARATION. AS WE BEGAN OUR DSCNT FROM MDA TO LAND, I SPOTTED THE ACFT ON AN UPWIND. DURING THIS TIME WE HADN'T HEARD A SINGLE RADIO CALL FROM THE OTHER SMA. UPON REACHING THE FLARE, WE ELECTED TO DO A GAR. WE RADIOED OUR ACTIONS AND BEGAN OUR CLB. WE THEN NOTICED THE OTHER ACFT TURNING XWIND AND BEGAN ON A COLLISION COURSE TOWARDS US. UPON NOTICING THIS SIT, WE MADE ANOTHER RADIO CALL ANNOUNCING OUR POS. BEING IN A CLB WE HAD VERY FEW OPTIONS AVAILABLE AND THE OTHER ACFT CONTINUED TOWARDS US. UPON REALIZING THE OTHER AIRPLANE WAS NOT GIVING RIGHT OF WAY TO THE LEAST MANEUVERABLE ACFT, WE HAD TO DROP 20 DEGS OF FLAPS TO PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO GET ABOVE THE ACFT THUS AVOIDING A COLLISION. IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE, ALL ACFT SHOULD PARTICIPATE ON UNICOM IN BROADCASTING POS AND INTENTIONS, AS WELL AS KNOWING THE RULES IN PART 91 OF ACFT RIGHT-OF- WAY.
