Guys,
Sorry but have I lost the plot on this one?
OK, so we can talk all we want about holds part way down the runway, and whether or not a visiting pilot should know about them or indeed use them, and whether or not such a procedure is mentioned in the AIP or during a telephone brief. But surely the bottom line is that the guy on approach is simply not allowed to land on an occupied runway at an uncontrolled airfield - its illegal. And if the guy on the runway does not vacate, an approaching airplane HAS to go-around.
I visit uncontrolled (read radio) airfields fairly often, and on some occasions I sequence myself fairly close behind the airplane in front. However, NEVER when I do that do I expect to land come what may. If I'm fairly close in behind someone else at such airfields (totally different at East Mids where I may be given a land after), I prepare myself for the possibility of needing to do a go-around if the guy in front mucks around a bit and does not vacate before I need to put my wheels on the ground.
Based on what we're told, the guy on approach may, if he was local, have (a) expected the one ahead to vacate and wait for back-track or even (b) he may have even suggested such on the radio. But just to say he was landing, and indeed do so in contravention of established rules, just points the finger at an ignorant a**hole, who deserves to be reported in a MOR.
