Incident
Two Cessna 152 aircraft were involved in a mid-air collision in the vicinity of an airport traffic area. Despite the collision, both airplanes returned to their destination airport and landed safely.
Flight Path Conflict
The planned flight path of one Cessna 152 overflew the airport traffic area where the other aircraft was descending to enter the airport traffic pattern. The pilot of the overflying Cessna 152 reported that he was flying at an altitude of 2,200 feet mean sea level (MSL). The published transition procedure for overflying the airport instructs pilots to contact the air traffic control tower and expect an altitude of 2,500 feet MSL.
Aircraft and Personnel
Both aircraft were Cessna 152 models. No further details about registrations, occupants, or injuries were provided in the source material.
Aftermath
Following the collision, both aircraft continued to the destination airport and completed a safe landing. The incident highlights a discrepancy between the altitude flown by one pilot and the published procedural altitude for transiting the airport area.
