Narrative:

The problem arose as a result of deteriorating WX on my flight to rockport, tx. The contributing factors to the situation were 4 other aircraft at an uncontrolled airport at the same time with a ceiling of approximately 1700 ft MSL. The problem arose when the 5 aircraft were to use the same runway (9) or airspace at approximately the same time in WX that would not permit me to see but 1 other aircraft for about 3 seconds. Since I could see the airport and not the other aircraft, I elected to land on another runway (14). My primary reason for using another runway was I could see the airport and could see only 1 other aircraft. I had flown to the airport before and I knew I could land on runway 14 and stop before crossing runway 9.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: THERE WAS AN NMAC AT AN UNCTLED ARPT.

Narrative: THE PROB AROSE AS A RESULT OF DETERIORATING WX ON MY FLT TO ROCKPORT, TX. THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THE SIT WERE 4 OTHER ACFT AT AN UNCTLED ARPT AT THE SAME TIME WITH A CEILING OF APPROX 1700 FT MSL. THE PROB AROSE WHEN THE 5 ACFT WERE TO USE THE SAME RWY (9) OR AIRSPACE AT APPROX THE SAME TIME IN WX THAT WOULD NOT PERMIT ME TO SEE BUT 1 OTHER ACFT FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. SINCE I COULD SEE THE ARPT AND NOT THE OTHER ACFT, I ELECTED TO LAND ON ANOTHER RWY (14). MY PRIMARY REASON FOR USING ANOTHER RWY WAS I COULD SEE THE ARPT AND COULD SEE ONLY 1 OTHER ACFT. I HAD FLOWN TO THE ARPT BEFORE AND I KNEW I COULD LAND ON RWY 14 AND STOP BEFORE XING RWY 9.
