A student and instructor pilot practicing touch-and-go landings collided with a Cessna 182 during intersection takeoff, striking the other aircraft's windshield with the left wing tip.

Incident Overview

A student pilot and instructor pilot (IP) were conducting touch-and-go landings. After completing four landings on Runway 18, they switched to Runway 07 for crosswind practice. The IP stated that they utilized the airport advisory service, monitored the communications and positions of other aircraft, and advised the Flight Service Station (FSS) of their intention to switch runways. The IP was aware of an aircraft that had departed and another that was on a VOR approach, but reported that he did not see any aircraft taxiing on the runways, ramps, or taxiways.

Collision Sequence

As the aircraft was touching down between the runway numbers and the intersection, a Cessna 182, N5037D, was observed rolling on Runway 18. The IP reported that brakes were applied and a right turn was attempted, but the left wing tip struck the windshield of the other aircraft. The Cessna 182 pilot had started an intersection takeoff on Runway 18 from a taxiway when he saw N89255. He applied brakes and came to a stop in the intersection of the runways, just prior to impact.
