BUT ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT WILL BE CRITICAL IS THE RADIO TRAFFIC BEFORE THE ACCIDENT... WATSONVILLE DOES áNOTá HAVE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, LIKE MOST AIRPORTS IT'S SIZE... SO, PILOTS ANNOUNCE THEIR LOCATION AND INTENTION ON WHAT'S CALLED A UNICOM FREQUENCY... FROM THOSE RECORDINGS... WE KNOW THE PILOT OF THE SINGLE ENGINE CESSNA, NINER THREE ONE, HAD BEEN DOING TOUCH AND GO'S LEADING UP TO THE ACCIDENT... ACTION NEWS 8 ANCHOR áDAN GREENá HAS MORE ON THE RADIO TRAFFIC.### AT WATSONVILLE AIRPORT, LIKE MOST... THE LANDING PATTERN HAS... DOWNWIND LEG, BASE, AND FINAL FOR THE APPROACH... THE SINGLE ENGINE PLANE WAS ON DOWNWIND, A TWIN ENGINE CESSNA 340 WAS ARRIVING FOR A STRAIGHT IN APPROACH AFTER DEPARTING TULARE... HE WAS JUST SOUTH OF SOUTH LAKES GOLF COUSE. "WATSONVILLE AREA TRAFFIC, TWIN CESSNA 740WJ, 3 MILES STRAIGHT IN, FULL STOP, WATSONVILLE." NINE SECONDS LATER, NINER THREE ONE ANNOUNCED A TURN TO BASE, "WATSONVILLE TRAFFIC, CESSNA 931, TURNING LEFT BASE, 2-0, WATSONVILLE." 20 SECONDS AFTER THAT, THE TWIN IS AWARE OF THE THE CESSNA 152 IN THE PATTERN. "WATSONVILLE AREA TRAFFIC, TWIN CESSNA 740WJ, 1 MILE, STRAIGHT IN, LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC ON LEFT BASE." THE SINGLE ENGINE PILOT, INITALLY, APPEARS UNCONCERNED... APPARENTLY THINKING HE'S GOT ROOM... "YEAH, I SEE... YOU'RE BEHIND ME." BUT THE SINGLE ENGINE PILOT, MAY HAVE MISJUDGED THE SPEED OF THE LARGER AIRCRAFT... FOURTEEN SECONDS LATER, HE RECONSIDERS, AND PLANS TO ABORT HIS LANDING... "(931) "I'M GONNA GO AROUND THEN, BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING AT ME PRETTY QUICK, MAN." SOMEWHERE IN THE NEXT 15-20 SECONDS, THE IMPACT.... FOLLOWED BY... "EVERYBODY PLESE BE ADVISED THERE IS AN ACCIDENT TOWARDS RUNWAY 2-0, PLEASE BE ADVISED, WATSONVILLE." ### THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE RELEASED A STATEMENT FOLLOWING THE EVENT. THEY SAID, QUOTE: "WE ARE ABSOLUTELY SADDENED TO HEAR ABOUT THE TRAGIC INCIDENT THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF SEVERAL PEOPLE.
