Probable cause

THE INADEQUATE VISUAL LOOKOUT OF THE PILOTS OF BOTH AIRPLANES WHICH RESULTED IN THE COLLISION. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE IMPROPER VFR PROCEDURES OF N88TE WHILE TRANSITIONING THROUGH THE WHEELER AFB AIRPORT TRAFFIC AREA.

Read the full NTSB narrative

TWO CESSNA 152'S COLLIDED IN MID AIR. BOTH AIRPLANES RETURNED TO THEIR DESTINATION AIRPORT AND LANDED SAFELY. ONE OF THE CESSNA 152'S PLANNED FLIGHT PATH OVERFLEW THE AIRPORT TRAFFIC AREA WHERE THE OTHER AIRPLANE WAS DESCENDING TO ENTER THE AIRPORT TRAFFIC PATTERN. THE PILOT OF THE OVERFLYING C-152 STATED THAT HE WAS FLYING AT AN ALTITUDE OF 2,200 FEET MSL. THE PUBLISHED TRANSITION OVER THE AIRPORT INSTRUCTS PILOTS TO CONTACT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER AND EXPECT AN ALTITUDE OF 2,500 FEET.
