Incident Description
On an unspecified date, a Beech F33A airplane impacted a Cessna 172N while both were on short final approach to runways at an airport. The Beech pilot had been cleared by air traffic control to land on runway 26R but instead mistakenly aligned for the parallel runway 26L. As the Beech approached, it collided with the Cessna, which was conducting touch-and-go landings on runway 26L.
Pilot Statements
According to the Beech pilot, after being cleared for landing on runway 26R, he inadvertently set up his approach for runway 26L. On short final, he felt his airplane hit something and immediately heard the air traffic controller instruct him to go around. The pilot complied and subsequently completed an uneventful landing.
The Cessna pilot, a student aviator on his fourth solo flight, was practicing takeoffs and landings on runway 26L. He was cleared for the option on that runway. While on short final, the Cessna was overtaken by the Beech. The student pilot reported no further issues and continued to an uneventful landing.
Aftermath
Both aircraft landed without further incident. No injuries were reported in the source material. The specific damage to the aircraft was not detailed.
