Incident Overview
A Piper PA-32R-201 (registration N2263Q) and a Bainbridge Jodel F-12 (registration N5700) were involved in a collision on a runway. Both aircraft had encountered structural icing conditions during flight, resulting in ice covering their windshields. This ice restricted the forward visibility of the occupants in both aircraft.
Sequence of Events
The Bainbridge Jodel F-12 landed first. After touchdown, its pilot turned the aircraft around and was taxiing on the runway while the Piper PA-32R-201 was in the process of landing. Within seconds after the Piper touched down, the two aircraft collided.
Pilot Reports
The pilot of the Piper reported that his passenger, who was also a pilot, made the appropriate radio calls in the traffic pattern. The pilot of the Bainbridge Jodel reported that he removed his headset after landing so he could position his head against the side window for better vision while taxiing.
