Narrative:The aircraft collided with ZK-MBL while conducting training. The two pilots had departed Palmerston North airport at separate times to engage in general flying training exercises in the southern training area in preparation for their Commercial Pilot Licence flight tests. Witnesses reported to the police that the two aircraft had collided in mid-air. The pilots of both aircraft were found deceased in the wreckage of their respective aircraft.
ZK-MBL collided with ZK-MBD from underneath the left wing. The collision resulted in the propeller of ZK-MBL severing the right wing of ZK-MBD. The right undercarriage of ZK-MBL severed the right wing of ZK-MBL.
The accident occurred due to the pilots not being able to sight each other, as a result of the aircrafts’ inherent blind spots and the position of the sun.
