Narrative:

Reporter was flying right seat in a part 135 check ride. Final item in the check ride was NDB-a circle 18 at ikv. Check pilot was FAA inspector (poi) for the reporter's company. Airplane #1 was on the NDB course inbound and FAA inspector in left seat made radio calls. Aircraft #2 reported short final runway 18 when aircraft #1 was approximately 2 mi out. FAA inspector 1) 'failed' an engine, 2) saw aircraft #1, and 3) allowed reporter to lift 'hood' all at about the same time. Aircraft #1 turned right (northerly) and then turned base. FAA inspector reported base leg and asked for aircraft #2's position. There was no response and the (false) assumption was that aircraft #2 was on the ground. Aircraft #1 proceeded to land and on rollout the pilot of aircraft #2 radioed that we had come right over him about 25 ft higher and that our wake turbulence had just about put him down. Reporter never saw aircraft #2 during all these events. On the ground, the pilot of aircraft #2 said that he was practicing short field takeoffs and was very slow on final. Before this occurrence, during the same flight of aircraft #2, another pilot advised the FBO management at ikv that aircraft #2 was 'flying large patterns.' pilot (poi) of aircraft #1 saw aircraft #2 when aircraft #2 was in a position the poi thought would have aircraft #2 on the ground long before aircraft #1. During the ensuing 'engine failure' and maneuvering, aircraft #2 was lost to sight. As aircraft #1 banked to turn final, poi asked whether reporter saw aircraft #2. I had not. Poi commented that he must be clear of the runway because there was no one on the runway. Get and keep pattern traffic in sight. Be aware of speed differential.

Title: BE90 FAA INSPECTOR AND FO IN R SEAT, TAKING CHK RIDE, HAD AN NMAC WITH A C172 ON APCH TO RWY 18 AT IKV.

Narrative: RPTR WAS FLYING R SEAT IN A PART 135 CHK RIDE. FINAL ITEM IN THE CHK RIDE WAS NDB-A CIRCLE 18 AT IKV. CHK PLT WAS FAA INSPECTOR (POI) FOR THE RPTR'S COMPANY. AIRPLANE #1 WAS ON THE NDB COURSE INBOUND AND FAA INSPECTOR IN L SEAT MADE RADIO CALLS. ACFT #2 RPTED SHORT FINAL RWY 18 WHEN ACFT #1 WAS APPROX 2 MI OUT. FAA INSPECTOR 1) 'FAILED' AN ENG, 2) SAW ACFT #1, AND 3) ALLOWED RPTR TO LIFT 'HOOD' ALL AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME. ACFT #1 TURNED R (NORTHERLY) AND THEN TURNED BASE. FAA INSPECTOR RPTED BASE LEG AND ASKED FOR ACFT #2'S POS. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND THE (FALSE) ASSUMPTION WAS THAT ACFT #2 WAS ON THE GND. ACFT #1 PROCEEDED TO LAND AND ON ROLLOUT THE PLT OF ACFT #2 RADIOED THAT WE HAD COME RIGHT OVER HIM ABOUT 25 FT HIGHER AND THAT OUR WAKE TURB HAD JUST ABOUT PUT HIM DOWN. RPTR NEVER SAW ACFT #2 DURING ALL THESE EVENTS. ON THE GND, THE PLT OF ACFT #2 SAID THAT HE WAS PRACTICING SHORT FIELD TKOFS AND WAS VERY SLOW ON FINAL. BEFORE THIS OCCURRENCE, DURING THE SAME FLT OF ACFT #2, ANOTHER PLT ADVISED THE FBO MGMNT AT IKV THAT ACFT #2 WAS 'FLYING LARGE PATTERNS.' PLT (POI) OF ACFT #1 SAW ACFT #2 WHEN ACFT #2 WAS IN A POS THE POI THOUGHT WOULD HAVE ACFT #2 ON THE GND LONG BEFORE ACFT #1. DURING THE ENSUING 'ENG FAILURE' AND MANEUVERING, ACFT #2 WAS LOST TO SIGHT. AS ACFT #1 BANKED TO TURN FINAL, POI ASKED WHETHER RPTR SAW ACFT #2. I HAD NOT. POI COMMENTED THAT HE MUST BE CLR OF THE RWY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE RWY. GET AND KEEP PATTERN TFC IN SIGHT. BE AWARE OF SPD DIFFERENTIAL.
