Incident Description
A collision occurred on a taxiway between two airplanes after they had landed. The low-wing airplane, piloted by a student pilot, was exiting the runway onto the taxiway. The high-wing airplane, piloted by a flight instructor, had landed earlier and was already on the taxiway.
The student pilot attempted to pass the high-wing airplane on its left side. During the maneuver, the right wing of the low-wing airplane struck the left wing lift strut of the high-wing airplane. The low-wing airplane then continued to the right, turning approximately 180 degrees. Its right wing subsequently struck the propeller of the high-wing airplane, followed by the low-wing airplane's propeller striking the right wing of the high-wing airplane.
Pilot Reports
The student pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The flight instructor in the high-wing airplane reported that after exiting the runway onto the taxiway, he "felt a small hit on the left side." He then observed a low-wing airplane make a right 180-degree turn around the front of his airplane and impact the right wing of his airplane.
Damage
The low-wing airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing. The high-wing airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
