Narrative:
Following a validation flight for a newly installed ads-B system I was flying as safety pilot while my partner flew practice approaches for IFR currency. We were inbound for the ILS 8R approach to palm beach county (florida) airport F45. We were inbound and level at 1600 ft. At approximately 6 miles. We were broadcasting our position and intentions continuously on the CTAF frequency. During my scan I saw an aircraft approach from our right at approximately the same altitude on an intercepting heading. Initial visual contact was when the other aircraft was approximately 200 ft to our right. I immediately instructed the pilot flying to turn left and remove his foggles. As we banked left the other aircraft passed in front of us and continued his approach. At that point in time he broadcast (his first on CTAF) that he was also flying a practice approach to the same runway and volunteered that he was receiving vectors from palm beach approach control. This airport is out of the pbi class C airspace but certainly within their radar coverage area. We had no reason to be in contact with approach and certainly expected approach to have us on radar/ads-B and not vector another aircraft into us; especially one that was not on the CTAF frequency.
