March 7 2023 a low-wing piper and a high-wing piper on floats collided killing a flight instructor and student pilot in both planes. This accident was especially tragic for me since the instructor of the low-wing Piper, Faith, was one of the members of the flight team I coached.

In today’s episode, we will discuss collision avoidance tips and tricks to prevent such a tragic accident from happening again. I am also recording this because I promised Faith’s Mom I would do everything I could to help promote good collision avoidance practices. So here are our collision avoidance tips and tricks.
