GA student pilot reported an NMAC during short final to TVY airport.
What is ASRS?
The Aviation Safety Reporting System is NASA's voluntary, confidential, non- punitive incident-reporting system, established 1976. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers, and maintenance technicians file reports describing safety- relevant events. NASA de-identifies every report before adding it to the public database. Reports are not investigated by NASA, the FAA, or the NTSB — they represent the reporter's perspective.
Pilot narrative
Verbatim from the de-identified NASA record. First-person account by the
reporter. NASA strips identifying details (names, company, specific time);
anonymization placeholders are ZZZ,
X, Y.
During our final approach to Runway 35 at TVY, Aircraft Y called simulated engine failure over the radio while they were on the downwind. I was around 500 feet lower at the time of their call with most of my final approach complete. During short final/touchdown we noticed the plane buzzed over the top of our aircraft at about 200+ (ADS-B showing the information) causing undue danger in the event that we had to abort landing for whatever reason. The jump plane pilots have been known to do such events in times past. My instructor radioed to them about their unsafe bafoonery with zero recognition. It was a brief statement about a student pilot (myself) in training. He was quite unhappy with their antics and opted to not escalate it via CTAF bantering.

ASRS reports are voluntarily submitted, de-identified by NASA, and represent the reporter's perspective. The presence of reports on a topic cannot be used to infer prevalence in the National Airspace System. The authoritative source is the NASA ASRS Database Online at asrs.arc.nasa.gov ↗.
