Narrative

ON THE MORNING OF JUL/FRI/95; I FLEW MY ACFT -- BELLANCA VIKING XXXX -- OVER HILLS AROUND HALF MOON BAY TO CHK IT FOR FLT IN PM TO AIRLINE (95) CELEBRATION AT SFO. I RETURNED TO SAN CARLOS AND WAS TOLD BY CTLR TO RPT OVER HEAD THE TWR AT 1200 FT OR ABOVE (WHICH I DID). AS I PASSED OVER THE TWR I WAS CLRED TO LAND. I HAD WHEELS DOWN AND HALF FLAPS. CTLR ADVISED ME THERE WERE 2 ACFT IN VICINITY. I REPLIED THAT I HAD THEM IN SIGHT. I THEN; MADE A R TURN TO DOWNWIND SLIGHTLY BELOW AND BEHIND A CESSNA 210 THAT HAD JUST TAKEN OFF ON AN IFR FLT PLAN. HE WAS STILL VFR AS WAS I. I HEARD HIM CALL THE TWR AND RPT A NEAR MISS WITH A MOONEY. I FIGURED I WAS ABOUT 200 YDS FROM HIM WHEN I MADE A R TURN AND SLIGHTLY BELOW (1000 FT). I FIGURED HE WAS REFERRING TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE TWR MGR LATER TOLD ME HE WAS REFERRING TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THE CESSNA PLT MADE A NEAR MISS RPT. HE THOUGHT WE WERE CLOSER TO EACH OTHER THAN I. MY CONCERN IS THAT ALL PLTS REMAIN VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES DURING ANY FLT. I FELT THAT I DID HAVE HIM IN SIGHT AND THAT IT WAS NOT A NEAR MISS.
