Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
While in the pattern we heard a call from Aircraft Y that they were 5 to 10 miles north of the airport and going to enter a left downwind for Runway XX. Traffic pattern for Runway XX is right hand traffic. We were established in the pattern with a Piper Archer in front of us. Aircraft Y then entered the right downwind behind us after we called that we are doing right traffic. We turned base as the Archer was turning final and made our call. The next call made was us turning final. As we were doing this we saw Aircraft Y around 200 to 300 feet away heading right for us. We avoided each other and then they asked if we were on final. We asked if they had us in sight before and they said no. We told them they got a little close and they proceeded to tell us we were the ones who were close. We were established in the pattern and on final with them behind us, so we had the right of way. No other issues arose after this.
