PA-28 fight Instructor reported a NMAC event during takeoff with a landing aircraft. The landing aircraft executed a go around with "zero offset" which promoted the flight Instructor to call for an early crosswind to provide separation.
What is ASRS?
The Aviation Safety Reporting System is NASA's voluntary, confidential, non- punitive incident-reporting system, established 1976. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers, and maintenance technicians file reports describing safety- relevant events. NASA de-identifies every report before adding it to the public database. Reports are not investigated by NASA, the FAA, or the NTSB — they represent the reporter's perspective.
Pilot narrative
Verbatim from the de-identified NASA record. First-person account by the
reporter. NASA strips identifying details (names, company, specific time);
anonymization placeholders are ZZZ,
X, Y.
My student and I were practicing landings at ZZZ, making normal radio calls for an uncontrolled airport. As part of the radio calls, we would specify type landing as a stop & go. About midway through practicing landings, the event occurred. While on the go during a stop & go, Aircraft Y asked us if we were doing a touch & or a full-stop. They called a go- around and we were climbing out on the initial portion of the climb-out. Aircraft Y had zero offset, and historical ADS-B records indicate 300 feet separation, but ADS-B indications in the aircraft indicated as close as a "+2" indication. I tried looking for the traffic, but could not make visual. I called for an early crosswind.

ASRS reports are voluntarily submitted, de-identified by NASA, and represent the reporter's perspective. The presence of reports on a topic cannot be used to infer prevalence in the National Airspace System. The authoritative source is the NASA ASRS Database Online at asrs.arc.nasa.gov ↗.
