This is an excerpt from a report made to the Aviation Safety Reporting System. The narrative is written by the pilot, rather than FAA or NTSB officials. To maintain anonymity, many details, such as aircraft model or airport, are often scrubbed from the reports.
I was providing instruction to a student in a Cessna 172. We were in a packed pattern at Bend Municipal Airport (KBDN) in Oregon practicing landings when a Citation II S2 pulled onto the runway while we were on short final. There were about three aircraft in the pattern behind us.
The Citation pilots queried the base traffic how far out they were, but I don’t think they realized we were on short final.
I made radio calls indicating our position prior to the runway incursion.
The Citation pilot radioed that they were going to line up and wait, then said “sorry guys” over the radio.
In an effort to show my student good Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM), I took controls and side stepped to the west over Taxiway A to go around.
The Citation took off anyways and made an early right crosswind in front of us, causing us to go through their wake.
No damage or injuries and we made a normal landing afterwards.
