Narrative:
On this particular day I was flying in VFR conditions, but practicing IFR by using a hood. I had an appropriate safety pilot, rated in the aircraft. I asked arrival for permission to pass through their airspace (only the very edge, 9 mi from arrival), which was granted. My safety pilot was searching the sky, but was unable to see the other aircraft coming in the opposite direction in front of us. Once he spotted it, he took over and pushed the nose over and turned very hard right. After about another min, the ATC notified us of an aircraft near our immediate position, already past. Nothing more was said or done.

Narrative: ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY I WAS FLYING IN VFR CONDITIONS, BUT PRACTICING IFR BY USING A HOOD. I HAD AN APPROPRIATE SAFETY PLT, RATED IN THE ACFT. I ASKED ARR FOR PERMISSION TO PASS THROUGH THEIR AIRSPACE (ONLY THE VERY EDGE, 9 MI FROM ARR), WHICH WAS GRANTED. MY SAFETY PLT WAS SEARCHING THE SKY, BUT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE OTHER ACFT COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IN FRONT OF US. ONCE HE SPOTTED IT, HE TOOK OVER AND PUSHED THE NOSE OVER AND TURNED VERY HARD R. AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER MIN, THE ATC NOTIFIED US OF AN ACFT NEAR OUR IMMEDIATE POS, ALREADY PAST. NOTHING MORE WAS SAID OR DONE.
