A 43 Air School Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee (ZS-JGD) and Piper PA-28R-200 Cherokee Arrow II (ZS-JLD) of the same operator were involved in an airprox incident at Port Alfred (FAPA).
ZS-JGD was engaged in circuits on runway 28R. Shortly after take-off from runway 28R, ZS-JLD commenced with take-off on runway 28R for a navigation flight east of Port Alfred.
After take-off, ZS-JDG joined the circuit for runway 28R and flew on the right downwind. ZS-JLD followed a similar route to route towards the east.
ZS-JGD turned right base runway 28R. When the instructor looked out towards the right, he spotted the landing light of ZS-JLD only metres away, and immediately took control and expeditiously descended the aircraft. The instructor reported it would have resulted in a mid-air collision had he not taken evasive measures.
