## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) PILOT DEPARTED SMALL STRIP NEAR ROANOKE, LA. AND FLEW NORTHEAST AT 500' TO 600' UNTIL CROSSING 1-10 APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES WEST OF THE JENNINGS AIRPORT. THIS ENTRY ESSENTIALLY CONSTITUTED A WIDE RIGHT DOWNWIND ENTRY INTO THE FIELD AND THE PILOT, AFTER LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC, COMMENCED A RIGHT, DESCENDING TURN TO FINAL FOR RUNWAY 17 AT JENNINGS AIRPORT (NOTE THAT RUNWAY 17 AT JENNINGS AIRPORT SHOWS A RIGHT TRAFFIC PATTERN). THE PILOT STATED HIS APPROACH WAS NORMAL IN ALL RESPECTS AND HE DID NOT SEE, AT ANY TIME, THE CESSNA 150 BELOW AND SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF HIM ON FINAL APPROACH. AS THE PILOT CROSSED RUNWAY THRESHOLD AND REDUCED POWER FOR HIS LANDING FLARE, HE FIRST SIGHTED THE WHITE WINGS OF THE CESSNA 150 BELOW AND JUST AHEAD OF HIS LOWER WINGS AND THEN CONTACT WAS MADE. CONTACT OCCURRED AS BOTH AIRCRAFT LANDED AND THE G-164D AIRCRAFT SETTLED ON TOP OF THE CESSNA 150 WITH THE THREE BLADED PROP SLICING INTO THE TOP PORTION OF THE CESSNA 150 ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUST AHEAD OF THE CESSNA 150 WINDSCREEN. THE TWO AIRCRAFT, NOW JOINED TOGETHER, VEERED LEFT AND CAME TO A STOP OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STRIP AFTER APPROXIMATELY A 170 DEGREE LEFT TURN. BOTH PILOTS SHUT DOWN THEIR AIRCRAFT AND EXITED WITH NO INJURIES.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
