Narrative:

On climb out into the wind, runway 1, at low altitude, I suddenly saw the aircraft in a right turn, at the top of the trees, diving into runway 19. He made no effort to turn and in fact he landed on runway 19 near my location. To avoid a head-on collision, I had to turn off runway heading into the trees. I had less distance to the trees and nearly crashed, just managing to drag the wheels through the tops of the trees. This event could have been avoided by requiring crop dusters to make normal radio communication calls, enter traffic pattern at normal altitudes like everyone else (45 degrees, downwind, base, final) rather than swooping into a runway.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: DEPARTING ACFT TAKES EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID OPPOSITE DIRECTION LNDG TFC AT 14J.

Narrative: ON CLBOUT INTO THE WIND, RWY 1, AT LOW ALT, I SUDDENLY SAW THE ACFT IN A R TURN, AT THE TOP OF THE TREES, DIVING INTO RWY 19. HE MADE NO EFFORT TO TURN AND IN FACT HE LANDED ON RWY 19 NEAR MY LOCATION. TO AVOID A HEAD-ON COLLISION, I HAD TO TURN OFF RWY HDG INTO THE TREES. I HAD LESS DISTANCE TO THE TREES AND NEARLY CRASHED, JUST MANAGING TO DRAG THE WHEELS THROUGH THE TOPS OF THE TREES. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY REQUIRING CROP DUSTERS TO MAKE NORMAL RADIO COM CALLS, ENTER TFC PATTERN AT NORMAL ALTS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE (45 DEGS, DOWNWIND, BASE, FINAL) RATHER THAN SWOOPING INTO A RWY.
