RC - I am a 1,000 odd hour flying instructor such as you describe as having low experience which you imply was a contributory factor to this incident.
My lookout beats the pants of some of the old timers I have flown with in the past. I honestly donīt think inexperience has ANYTHING to do with this incident.
Its all well and good people piously saying that lookout can solve these problems but its just not true.
Two aircraft can come together in such a way that it is impossible - repeat impossible - fo them to see one another.
Factor in a busy circuit, mixed IFR VFR traffic, the workload of TEACHING whilst flying, ATC errors/confusion and good old dependable Murphys Law and you have this incident.
Until you read the report and know exactly what ATC said to whom and when you should refrain from blaming the pilots. All will then be revealed.
Right, time for me to get back in the circuit and walk the walk,
