Narrative:

During climb out in a small cpr jet, just after takeoff from myf, we were given a frequency change to san departure. As the PNF, I was setting in the new frequency when I saw a light single engine high wing aircraft directly at our 12 O'clock. I immediately rolled the airplane into a steep right bank while calling out and pointing to the conflicting traffic. I noticed a few seconds later, the single high wing also made a turn to his right. Once the conflict had passed, I relinquished control of the aircraft back to the PF. He thanked me saying he hadn't seen the other aircraft until we were in the turn. When we discussed the situation later -- IFR -- under radar control --within an air traffic area, we both agreed on the value of an extra set of eyes in the cockpit.

Title: NMAC.

Narrative: DURING CLBOUT IN A SMALL CPR JET, JUST AFTER TKOF FROM MYF, WE WERE GIVEN A FREQ CHANGE TO SAN DEP. AS THE PNF, I WAS SETTING IN THE NEW FREQ WHEN I SAW A LIGHT SINGLE ENG HIGH WING ACFT DIRECTLY AT OUR 12 O'CLOCK. I IMMEDIATELY ROLLED THE AIRPLANE INTO A STEEP R BANK WHILE CALLING OUT AND POINTING TO THE CONFLICTING TFC. I NOTICED A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE SINGLE HIGH WING ALSO MADE A TURN TO HIS R. ONCE THE CONFLICT HAD PASSED, I RELINQUISHED CTL OF THE ACFT BACK TO THE PF. HE THANKED ME SAYING HE HADN'T SEEN THE OTHER ACFT UNTIL WE WERE IN THE TURN. WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE SITUATION LATER -- IFR -- UNDER RADAR CTL --WITHIN AN ATA, WE BOTH AGREED ON THE VALUE OF AN EXTRA SET OF EYES IN THE COCKPIT.
