Its sooooo nice that they told us how to say Cirrus, a lesson from the news paper on how to speak. LOL Just another high wing versis a low wing. Its easy to do and isnt the first time either. Glad all was ok and kept there wits about them to fly it untill it stops.

Woops looks like it was the other way around after finding the pix, Cessna on top, hmm bad pilot bad instructor.

From the sounds of it, the Cessna was climbing. The Cirrus may have been overtaking. Don't be too quick to blame the instructor in this case.

You better read it again. The csssna lost it's right wheel as it poked thru the windshield of the cirrus. That puts it it on top.

Reporter, "... and the plane landed on the right front wheel..." Good LORD. We need a full investigation into the stupidity of reporting aviation incidents.

Actually, she said, "the plane's right front tire smashed through the windshield."

All things considered, not a bad landing.... Wonder if they got their wheel back :)

Which right front wheel? The inboard, or outboard, right front wheel? I think the anti-skid was on too, and the tire was 2 psi low... Just kidding Preacher.

I'd say there was a loss of SITUATIONAL AWARENESS by somebody. Glad they are all OK.

I wonder how many folks you sent to the book to find out what CAVU meant.lol It ain't hardly used anymore. Only an older pilot or military man would probably know what you are talking about.lol

10-4 0n that. I f you are operating VFR and in uncontrolled airspace as the story says, you are supposed to have your eyes open.

but those large displays in that Cirrus are so cool to look at.......hell the Cessna could have had em to. fly the airplane.
preacher1

Well, both pilots did a good job of getting down. From the link above that bizjets posted, it looks like the Cirrus went in first and the Cessna in behind him. I'd have to say that that he had a huge wakeup call and probably needed clean pants.The instructor did real good holding up that right side on the Cessna. I hope that student took notice and paid attention cause that was a classic example of "It can happen to me".

Ooops. Couldn't the paper at lease used stock photos of the aircraft involved, rather than pulling something of of Google Images, or where ever they found that photo?
