I flew with a navigator - you'd hope they knew left from right - he had a big "L" on his right glove and an "R" on the left. When pressed he replied that if I were flying the silly thing facing backwards, I would too !

Inbound from the north to do circuits, positioning for rwy 11 and instructed to turn right and continue routing north of the aerodrome... in a left hand circuit setting up for a base leg join the aerodrome would be on their left - maybe a better instruction would have been "continue routing north of the APPROACH (or CENTRE LINE)"? 🤷🏻‍♂️

"PA285 turn right immediately" is a perfect instruction. Does the student not have a grasp of the English language? Ground him/her.

Some people have a problem and confuse left and right. When I was a student air traffic controller (many years ago) we had a colleague who had just this problem. Of course he had to drop out and went on to become chief met officer. This problem is more common in women.

Way to advance of a training aircraft.. I dont know how he even qualify to fly it solo from an insurance or skill stand point. The pilot had better get some hard radio listening instruct at a complex airport so he is not overwhelmed with all the communications going on.. then fly a 172 at small tower airports for a while..

I love the term "near-miss" used frequently to describe these types of incidents, makes no sense. A "near-miss" would be a collision.

Agreed. It was a miss or a near collision.

Sometimes it's easier to take the Chuck Noland approach, (Castaway), "I don't know why".

Near collision, far-miss, who knows?

Where did "onomatopoeia" come from?

Nice advanced trainer for a student pilot, retractable gear, variable speed prop & probably auto gear extension but with 103 hours he should have known left from right? Of course, if still a student pilot at 103 hours maybe he doesn’t?

years ago I had a similar incident. a student on base leg told to turn right and overshoot . he turned left and went over top of a DC8 on final by about 100 '. he was violated and grounded until he got more training. so fast I only got part of the warning to the 8 out ... he was by.

PA-28 Retractable gear? Variable speed prop? Yeah, it has a throttle but I don't remember it having variable pitch if that's what you mean?

You are right. It did not have variable pitch prop.

"Prior to August 1997, the FAA required a high-performance endorsement in order to act as pilot in command of an aircraft with more than 200 horsepower or that had retractable gear, flaps, and a constant speed,(the correct term), propeller."
https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/active-pilots/transitioning-to-high-performance-aircraft

The PA28R200 was listed as 'high performance' per the old reg. and required a logbook 'high performance endorsement' because it has retractable gear, flaps and a constant speed propeller. The 200 was horsepower produced by a Lycoming IO-360-C1C6 engine that 'has a constsnt speed prop'!

The original "variable pitch prop" was ground adjustable only.

What does 103 hours have to do with knowing left from right?

According to the SACAA incident investigation, he held a student pilot certificate only.
