MKC83LA004

The instructor pilot (ip) and a student were practicing stop-and-go landings in a Cessna 152, N89585, at an uncontrolled airport. The ip reported that they were monitoring the UNICOM frequency and had announced their intentions before each stop-and-go. The ip observed another aircraft, Piper PA-28, N8836N, in the pattern. After making several touch-and-go landings, the pilot of the Piper PA-28 (a student pilot) departed the pattern for a short time. The ip in the Cessna 152 saw the Piper PA-28 reenter the traffic pattern and advised the Piper that his rotating beacon was not working. After again announcing their intentions, the Cessna aircrew stopped about 1200 to 1300 ft from the approach end of the runway. While the Cessna was being reconfigured for takeoff, it was struck from behind by the Piper. The student in the Piper reported he did not realize the Cessna would stop on the runway. He did not see it stopped on the runway until after touchdown. The Piper's right wing hit the Cessna's tail.

The student pilot was flying a Piper PA-28, N8836N. After taking off from an uncontrolled airport, he made 3 or 4 touch-and-go landings, then departed the traffic pattern for a short time. When he reentered the traffic pattern, he monitored the UNICOM frequency and reported his position in the pattern. He heard the aircrew of a Cessna 152, N89585, call for a stop-and-go. The student stated that he did not realize the other aircraft would come to a full stop on the runway. The student reported that as he continued the landing, he was concentrating on the end of the runway and on touching down properly. He did not see the Cessna stopped on the runway until after touchdown. He turned to avoid a collision, but his right wing hit the tail of the Cessna. The instructor pilot in the Cessna stated that he and his student had come to a stop about 1200 to 1300 ft from the approach end of the runway. They were reconfiguring the Cessna for takeoff when the collision occurred.
