## Narrative

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

(-23) ON THE AFTERNOON OF 24 MAY, 2005, AT APPROXIMATELY 1520 LOCAL TIME, THE PILOT COMMENCED A VFR APPROACH TO RUNWAY 17 AT JENNINGS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT IN JENNINGS, LA. ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE PILOT, HIS APPROACH WAS INITIATED FROM A RIGHT BASE ENTRY AFTER LISTENING ON THE CTAF FREQUENCY AND LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC IN ALL FOUR QUADRANTS. THE REMAINDER OF THE APPROACH WAS UNEVENTFUL UNTIL THE LANDING FLARE. AT THAT MOMENT, AS THE CESSNA 150 WAS TOUCHING DOWN, THE G-164D (AG CAT) AIRCRAFT LANDED ON TOP AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON, THE TWO AIRCRAFT WERE JOINED TOGETHER AS THEY VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND CAME TO A STOP.

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