Accident happened while practicing landings.
I can understand how this happened. Far too many people are staring at their computer screens, instead of looking out the windows. Not just in aircraft, but in their vehicles as well. I’m not insinuating that this is the cause, but it is a definite possibility. Another thing I’ve seen is ADSB out only, especially on training aircraft. So if neither airplane had ADSB in, then neither pilot got any sort of warning.
" See and Avoid "
When practiced correctly and continually, saves lives.
RIP
Condolences to the family and friends of these two fledglings. Aviation can be very unforgiving of even a minor lapse in attention.
Canadian airport, Canadian registered airplanes. No ADSB, in or out.
I concur. Just the other day, a PC-12 showed up at my airport dropping some folks off. Talking with the crew, they invited me inside to look around at the Honeywell panel. GEEZUS! The thing was filled with TV sets everywhere. Information overload personified.
