Narrative:
On the morning of jul/fri/95, I flew my aircraft -- bellanca viking XXXX -- over hills around half moon bay to check it for flight in pm to airline (95) celebration at sfo. I returned to san carlos and was told by controller to report over head the tower at 1200 ft or above (which I did). As I passed over the tower I was cleared to land. I had wheels down and half flaps. Controller advised me there were 2 aircraft in vicinity. I replied that I had them in sight. I then, made a right turn to downwind slightly below and behind a cessna 210 that had just taken off on an IFR flight plan. He was still VFR as was I. I heard him call the tower and report a near miss with a mooney. I figured I was about 200 yds from him when I made a right turn and slightly below (1000 ft). I figured he was referring to someone else. The tower manager later told me he was referring to me. I understand the cessna pilot made a near miss report. He thought we were closer to each other than I. My concern is that all pilots remain vigilant at all times during any flight. I felt that I did have him in sight and that it was not a near miss.

Title: A BL26 PLT MANEUVERED HIS ACFT CLOSELY TO A C210 IN A CLASS D TFC PATTERN. THE C210 PLT RPTED A NMAC TO THE TWR.
Narrative: ON THE MORNING OF JUL/FRI/95, I FLEW MY ACFT -- BELLANCA VIKING XXXX -- OVER HILLS AROUND HALF MOON BAY TO CHK IT FOR FLT IN PM TO AIRLINE (95) CELEBRATION AT SFO. I RETURNED TO SAN CARLOS AND WAS TOLD BY CTLR TO RPT OVER HEAD THE TWR AT 1200 FT OR ABOVE (WHICH I DID). AS I PASSED OVER THE TWR I WAS CLRED TO LAND. I HAD WHEELS DOWN AND HALF FLAPS. CTLR ADVISED ME THERE WERE 2 ACFT IN VICINITY. I REPLIED THAT I HAD THEM IN SIGHT. I THEN, MADE A R TURN TO DOWNWIND SLIGHTLY BELOW AND BEHIND A CESSNA 210 THAT HAD JUST TAKEN OFF ON AN IFR FLT PLAN. HE WAS STILL VFR AS WAS I. I HEARD HIM CALL THE TWR AND RPT A NEAR MISS WITH A MOONEY. I FIGURED I WAS ABOUT 200 YDS FROM HIM WHEN I MADE A R TURN AND SLIGHTLY BELOW (1000 FT). I FIGURED HE WAS REFERRING TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE TWR MGR LATER TOLD ME HE WAS REFERRING TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THE CESSNA PLT MADE A NEAR MISS RPT. HE THOUGHT WE WERE CLOSER TO EACH OTHER THAN I. MY CONCERN IS THAT ALL PLTS REMAIN VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES DURING ANY FLT. I FELT THAT I DID HAVE HIM IN SIGHT AND THAT IT WAS NOT A NEAR MISS.
