Narrative:
While turning final for runway 8 at 3CK, a piper warrior, who was following my aircraft in the pattern, turned an early base to final cutting me off. After another aircraft on the ground alerted us to the close proximity of this aircraft, we re-entered the pattern and made an uneventful landing. This piper warrior in question was being used in a training flight and has been known to use non standard pattern procedures in the past. In my opinion, flight instructors need to give better training in radio communications and situational awareness at uncontrolled airports.

Title: POTENTIAL CONFLICT IN THE TFC PATTERN BTWN A C551 ON FINAL AND A PA28 AT A NON TWR ARPT, 3CK, IL.
Narrative: WHILE TURNING FINAL FOR RWY 8 AT 3CK, A PIPER WARRIOR, WHO WAS FOLLOWING MY ACFT IN THE PATTERN, TURNED AN EARLY BASE TO FINAL CUTTING ME OFF. AFTER ANOTHER ACFT ON THE GND ALERTED US TO THE CLOSE PROX OF THIS ACFT, WE RE-ENTERED THE PATTERN AND MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG. THIS PIPER WARRIOR IN QUESTION WAS BEING USED IN A TRAINING FLT AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO USE NON STANDARD PATTERN PROCS IN THE PAST. IN MY OPINION, FLT INSTRUCTORS NEED TO GIVE BETTER TRAINING IN RADIO COMS AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AT UNCTLED ARPTS.
