Incident Overview
A Piper PA-44-180T, registration N838PC, was on approach to runway 17R when it struck a taxiing Cessna 182Q, registration N4741N. The Cessna had just landed and was taxiing north parallel to the runway. The Piper was being flown by a student under the instruction of a flight instructor.
Sequence of Events
During the approach, the flight instructor reduced power on the left engine to idle to simulate a single-engine approach. The instructor noted that the student "was making too many corrections" and subsequently added power. Shortly after, the Piper veered to the right, and the pilots overcorrected, causing the airplane to veer to the left. The leftward movement resulted in the Piper striking the taxiing Cessna.
Aftermath and Landing
Following the collision, the Piper was landed in the grass median between the two parallel runways. The incident occurred under dark night visual meteorological conditions. The source does not specify damage extent or any injuries.
