Narrative:
Subject aircraft had previously declared an emergency and was diverting to ZZZ. Center released a small jet IFR at ZZZ, but warned them that a GA was on ILS 36. Jet entered runway and began takeoff roll on runway 18 (toward me!) as I was landing. Jet aborted takeoff and we passed each other in runway. I noticed movement at the far end of the runway. As I was entering my flare, I said in disbelief, 'the jet is departing!' center got a 'little' concerned and said, 'you guys are supposed to be talking on 122.7.' the runway was wide enough that the jet and the GA aircraft were able to scoot over to their respective r-hand sides and pass 'comfortably' past each other at 30-40 KTS each. Reflecting back again, I realize that I made a long string of errors that culminated in near disaster. There was clearly a point somewhere in this sequence where I should have been able to successfully execute a go around. I was not mentally prepared/primed for the go around operation and it really never entered my mind. I am profoundly embarrassed, and frankly appalled, at the many lapses in judgement and skill I displayed during this fiasco.

Title: NEAR GND COLLISION WHEN A GA ACFT LANDS OFF OF AN ILS TO RWY 36 AND A SMALL BIZJET ATTEMPTS A TKOF ON RWY 18 AT ZZZ, US.
Narrative: SUBJECT ACFT HAD PREVIOUSLY DECLARED AN EMER AND WAS DIVERTING TO ZZZ. CTR RELEASED A SMALL JET IFR AT ZZZ, BUT WARNED THEM THAT A GA WAS ON ILS 36. JET ENTERED RWY AND BEGAN TKOF ROLL ON RWY 18 (TOWARD ME!) AS I WAS LNDG. JET ABORTED TKOF AND WE PASSED EACH OTHER IN RWY. I NOTICED MOVEMENT AT THE FAR END OF THE RWY. AS I WAS ENTERING MY FLARE, I SAID IN DISBELIEF, 'THE JET IS DEPARTING!' CTR GOT A 'LITTLE' CONCERNED AND SAID, 'YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING ON 122.7.' THE RWY WAS WIDE ENOUGH THAT THE JET AND THE GA ACFT WERE ABLE TO SCOOT OVER TO THEIR RESPECTIVE R-HAND SIDES AND PASS 'COMFORTABLY' PAST EACH OTHER AT 30-40 KTS EACH. REFLECTING BACK AGAIN, I REALIZE THAT I MADE A LONG STRING OF ERRORS THAT CULMINATED IN NEAR DISASTER. THERE WAS CLRLY A POINT SOMEWHERE IN THIS SEQUENCE WHERE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTE A GAR. I WAS NOT MENTALLY PREPARED/PRIMED FOR THE GAR OP AND IT REALLY NEVER ENTERED MY MIND. I AM PROFOUNDLY EMBARRASSED, AND FRANKLY APPALLED, AT THE MANY LAPSES IN JUDGEMENT AND SKILL I DISPLAYED DURING THIS FIASCO.
