Incident Overview
On the day of the incident, two aircraft were approaching the same airport runway. N96299, a Cessna 172Q, was inbound on the localizer and executing the ILS approach to runway 9. The private pilot in the left seat was wearing an instrument hood, while the flight instructor in the right seat was maintaining a visual lookout.
Meanwhile, N5129C, a Cessna T210N, had completed the VOR-A approach and entered the traffic pattern for landing on runway 9. Both the private pilot in the left seat and the flight instructor in the right seat were maintaining visual lookouts.
Collision and Aftermath
Shortly after the pilot of the Cessna T210N turned onto final approach, the collision occurred. Both airplanes landed safely following the impact. The Cessna 172Q sustained minor damage, while the Cessna T210N sustained substantial damage. Specific damage to the T210N included a destroyed right wing upper spar cap and a damaged right aileron, which reduced roll control.
