Narrative:
Both aircraft in pattern, aircraft #1 (self in pattern for several lndgs). Aircraft #2 called in for landing runway 19, somewhat garbled, a PA18 sounded like 'for 19 gravel,' which parallels runway 19 paved. On final PA18 reported, so aircraft #1 made go around. Aircraft #1 was also on final. Situation is a problem because runway 19 gravel is located 2/3 the way down runway 19 paved near the runway 1 end. This normally gives adequate spacing, especially if runway 19 gravel is not used for touch-and-go lndgs. Other aircraft entered (apparently) pattern on base.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN SMT ACFT IS FORCED TO GO AROUND WHEN A SUPER CUB ENTERS A PARALLEL RWY FINAL VIA A BASE LEG ENTRY AT A NON TWR ARPT. NMAC.
Narrative: BOTH ACFT IN PATTERN, ACFT #1 (SELF IN PATTERN FOR SEVERAL LNDGS). ACFT #2 CALLED IN FOR LNDG RWY 19, SOMEWHAT GARBLED, A PA18 SOUNDED LIKE 'FOR 19 GRAVEL,' WHICH PARALLELS RWY 19 PAVED. ON FINAL PA18 RPTED, SO ACFT #1 MADE GAR. ACFT #1 WAS ALSO ON FINAL. SIT IS A PROB BECAUSE RWY 19 GRAVEL IS LOCATED 2/3 THE WAY DOWN RWY 19 PAVED NEAR THE RWY 1 END. THIS NORMALLY GIVES ADEQUATE SPACING, ESPECIALLY IF RWY 19 GRAVEL IS NOT USED FOR TOUCH-AND-GO LNDGS. OTHER ACFT ENTERED (APPARENTLY) PATTERN ON BASE.
