Narrative:
I was conducting a private pilot flight test in the above small aircraft X, had cleared the area for takeoff, observed none, and given the applicant a mild nose-up, left climbing turn. This is an unusual attitude to recover from, which he did. We had then flown straight and level on a north heading for at least 1/2 min, when a red and white low wing aircraft flashed underneath us, coming from left to right, and judging by the exit angle, he came from about 110 degrees to our right. I believe the aircraft was an small aircraft Y. Area used was the normal FBO practice area below TCA floor of 5000'.

Title: CLOSE PROX 2 GA SMA IN FBO TRAINING AREA.
Narrative: I WAS CONDUCTING A PVT PLT FLT TEST IN THE ABOVE SMA X, HAD CLRED THE AREA FOR TKOF, OBSERVED NONE, AND GIVEN THE APPLICANT A MILD NOSE-UP, LEFT CLBING TURN. THIS IS AN UNUSUAL ATTITUDE TO RECOVER FROM, WHICH HE DID. WE HAD THEN FLOWN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL ON A N HDG FOR AT LEAST 1/2 MIN, WHEN A RED AND WHITE LOW WING ACFT FLASHED UNDERNEATH US, COMING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AND JUDGING BY THE EXIT ANGLE, HE CAME FROM ABOUT 110 DEGS TO OUR RIGHT. I BELIEVE THE ACFT WAS AN SMA Y. AREA USED WAS THE NORMAL FBO PRACTICE AREA BELOW TCA FLOOR OF 5000'.
