An Air New Zealand B737 was on final approach to runway 16, at Wellington Airport when a Piper PA38 Tomahawk was cleared to cross from Wellington City to Petone, maintaining visual separation. The aircraft converged until a loss of separation occurred. Both aircraft were flying in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The pilot of the Tomahawk attempted to take evasive action. The aircraft passed in opposite directions with about 350 m between them. None of the 68 persons on board the aircraft were injured.
