Incident Overview
A Cessna 182 (N91868) and a Cessna 150 (N63532) collided in flight while both aircraft were operating in a left traffic pattern. Despite the collision, both airplanes were landed safely.
Sequence of Events
The Cessna 150, occupied by a check pilot and a pilot being evaluated, had just completed a landing and subsequently took off again to perform another traffic pattern. Meanwhile, the Cessna 182, occupied by a certified flight instructor (CFI) and a student pilot in the front seats along with a passenger, was entering the traffic pattern with the intention to land.
As the Cessna 150 was rolling out on a left downwind leg, the pilot in the left seat observed the Cessna 182 converging from behind and to the left. In response, he pulled the nose of the aircraft sharply upward. Simultaneously, the passenger in the Cessna 182 alerted the CFI and student pilot that the Cessna 150 was converging from the right. The CFI took control of the aircraft and executed a sharp left turn. The two airplanes subsequently collided.
Post-Collision
After the collision, both aircraft were landed safely. The Cessna 150 check pilot reported that the pilots of the Cessna 182 had made a nonstandard entry into the traffic pattern.
