While being vectored and cleared for an on RNAV Approach as soon as frequency change was advised it was noted a plane was on runway opposite direction that cleared within 15 seconds and another that had taken runway took off at the same time. Evasive maneuver taken by me and no accident happened. As I turned eastbound another aircraft was noted to be on left base for runway 19. Three aircraft had been flying runway that winds did not favor and an accident could have occurred. I am interested in understanding what should have been done differently.
Pilot on approach to a non towered airport reported a NMAC with an opposite direction departure.
