Bonanza interrupts training flight

This is an excerpt from a report made to the Aviation Safety Reporting System. The narrative is written by the pilot, rather than FAA or NTSB officials. To maintain anonymity, many details, such as aircraft model or airport, are often scrubbed from the reports.

I was on a training flight in a Cirrus SR20 staying in the traffic pattern at ZZZ.

My student and I had previously made six or more trips in the pattern, mostly touch and goes, and always reporting our position.

There was a C172 in the pattern, and they were also making position reports and the separation was excellent.

There was a Bonanza who reported 15 miles to the northwest and that they would continue inbound, they never stated a runway or traffic pattern entry.

We continued in the pattern, as we expected them to be a few minutes and to overfly the field. They made a 10 mile call out saying there were going to make traffic for Runway XX, which does not exist at that airport. I would have asked for clarification, but my student was actively landing the airplane.

Upon doing another trip in the pattern, and reporting abeam, base, and final, we hear Bonanza asked for a position report from us. My student was flaring the airplane, and I told her to keep flying. After we made our touch and go like we previously said, we hear that Bonanza was making “right go around.”

After I assure that the aircraft is stable and the student has control, I look to our five o’clock and see the traffic only a couple hundred feet behind us. It was close enough to see the pilot in the front seat and the red and white paint.

I made clear callout that we would continue to climb on the present heading, and then depart the pattern to the north upon reaching 2,000. The traffic reported that they would do the same.

However, when the other traffic reached 1,700, they turned left to continue in the pattern.
