Situational Awareness
Conflict NMAC
Aircraft; Human Factors; Procedure
On initial climb a Twin Cessna which had taken off behind me came quite close to a collision with my aircraft. I was direct westbound; but must have drifted slightly south during my climb (A slight left-hand turn is required at our airport during the climb). The Twin Cessna was turning slightly southwest bound when it passed me on the right side and crossed in front of me. No evasive action was necessary to avoid collision; but the aircraft was very close.
A pilot departing a non towered airport reported a NMAC.
