Narrative:

While flying the VOR 30 degree radial from bpi VOR to pna airport, approximately 4 mi south at 8600 ft MSL, I was overflown from left to right by a 36 bonanza approximately 15 ft above me. Pinedale pattern altitude is supposed to be 7800 ft MSL. At the time I had just reached down and switched my radio from VOR to communication to call that I was entering the traffic pattern. I was not using a hood, only flying the radial visually.

Title: NMAC BTWN 2 SMA SEL APCHING AT UNCTLED ARPT TFC PATTERN.

Narrative: WHILE FLYING THE VOR 30 DEG RADIAL FROM BPI VOR TO PNA ARPT, APPROX 4 MI S AT 8600 FT MSL, I WAS OVERFLOWN FROM L TO R BY A 36 BONANZA APPROX 15 FT ABOVE ME. PINEDALE PATTERN ALT IS SUPPOSED TO BE 7800 FT MSL. AT THE TIME I HAD JUST REACHED DOWN AND SWITCHED MY RADIO FROM VOR TO COM TO CALL THAT I WAS ENTERING THE TFC PATTERN. I WAS NOT USING A HOOD, ONLY FLYING THE RADIAL VISUALLY.
