Narrative:
We were operating our aircraft tracking toward the iwa VOR on the 123 radial at 4;000 feet MSL in class east airspace and a departing aircraft from iwa was encountered and both pilots needed to make evasive maneuver to avoid collision. I don't believe that either the departing aircraft or we were in the wrong because of the airspace we were operating in at the time. However to avoid that situation I believe that we could have been on an ATC frequency (maybe iwa or phx approach) so that they could have provided separation services. When I received the 'possible pilot deviation' I was informed that I may have been operating in the iwa class D airspace. However; all indications from my flight instruments and navigational aids would suggest otherwise. In the future I will make contact with the nearby ATC facility so that they may provide me with traffic separation services and by doing so may mitigate any future conflicts.

Narrative: We were operating our aircraft tracking toward the IWA VOR on the 123 Radial at 4;000 feet MSL in Class E airspace and a departing aircraft from IWA was encountered and both pilots needed to make evasive maneuver to avoid collision. I don't believe that either the departing aircraft or we were in the wrong because of the airspace we were operating in at the time. However to avoid that situation I believe that we could have been on an ATC frequency (maybe IWA or PHX approach) so that they could have provided separation services.
