Human Factors
Student and I were flying a simulated engine out right traffic pattern to runway 5 at SHN. The student did call his downwind; but not base or final. I heard a partial radio call from another aircraft during our approach; but it was not clear. I did not make any calls. On short final we were lined up for runway 5; about .4 miles out; all of a sudden; the student (left seat) saw the other aircraft on our left in front; which was apparently taking off from the opposite direction runway 23. The wind was from direction 120. We didn't hear their call for takeoff. Both planes banked right and narrowly avoided collision; with the other plane passing just under us (100-200 feet vertical). Even though we were lined up with the runway from about .75 nm out; and looking at the runway; on centerline; we did not see the other aircraft until the last second. What caused this incident is lack of sufficient radio calls in pattern while executing a simulated emergency. Also learned that teaching simulated emergencies near a non-towered airport requires extra vigilance from instructor in making sure that traffic calls are made and there is situational awareness of traffic around the airport. Do not assume other aircraft will use the same runway that the wind seems to be indicating. Always clear for opposite direction traffic in the pattern; especially on final.
