Narrative:

We extended our pattern to space ourselves behind an small aircraft Y without radios. The small aircraft Y was over the approach end of the runway when we turned final. The sun was setting directly in front of us as we were on final for runway 23. On rollout, we discovered the small aircraft Y was still on the runway. There was never any danger of the small aircraft X conflicting with the small aircraft Y on the runway, however, both aircraft were on landing rollout at the same time, on the same runway. I firmly believe NORDO aircraft (small aircraft Y was NORDO) should use a transceiver when operating at a busy non-controled field.

Title: UNAUTH LNDG ON OCCUPIED RWY AT A NON TWR ARPT UNICOM.

Narrative: WE EXTENDED OUR PATTERN TO SPACE OURSELVES BEHIND AN SMA Y WITHOUT RADIOS. THE SMA Y WAS OVER THE APCH END OF THE RWY WHEN WE TURNED FINAL. THE SUN WAS SETTING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US AS WE WERE ON FINAL FOR RWY 23. ON ROLLOUT, WE DISCOVERED THE SMA Y WAS STILL ON THE RWY. THERE WAS NEVER ANY DANGER OF THE SMA X CONFLICTING WITH THE SMA Y ON THE RWY, HOWEVER, BOTH ACFT WERE ON LNDG ROLLOUT AT THE SAME TIME, ON THE SAME RWY. I FIRMLY BELIEVE NORDO ACFT (SMA Y WAS NORDO) SHOULD USE A TRANSCEIVER WHEN OPERATING AT A BUSY NON-CTLED FIELD.
