That's predicated on both aircraft using
the same runway! IF the Jab was using the duty runway (being that runway most-into-wind), then, even though the Pawnee may have been landing, he must not cause a hazard to other aircraft in doing so. FACT (and
law - Part 91.380....)
That the Jab was smitten from the sky proves the Pawnee's operations
weren't safe - if in fact he wasn't using the active runway...
