Narrative:

I was flying a cessna 182 rg, returning to abq airport from grants airport, NM. Made initial radio contact with abq approach 25 NM west of abq. Was assigned a heading of 060 degrees and altitude of 9500 ft. Was issued a TA for an air carrier Y airlines md-80 that would be departing abq runway 26. Did not have aircraft in sight at this time. Heard the aircraft assigned a heading of 010 degrees and altitude of 20000 ft. Hearing 20000 ft as opposed to FL200 seemed unusual, but the call sounded clear. I made visual contact with the air carrier Y aircraft as it turned north out of traffic, and watched it climb and approach my flight path. I heard no additional TA's issued to me or the air carrier Y aircraft and I heard no additional altitude restrs placed on the air carrier Y aircraft. When it appeared to me that a collision or near collision with the air carrier Y aircraft might occur, I made an immediate, steep banked turn to the left heading 360 degrees and announced my intentions over the radio. In making this turn, my aircraft lost 250 ft of altitude. The air carrier Y aircraft passed quickly and appeared to be still climbing as it did so. I resumed a heading of 060 degrees and attempted to regain the lost altitude. The air carrier Y pilot asked approach for my altitude and the controller reported 9250 ft MSL and I verified that as correct. I was instructed to call the controling supervisor after landing (which I did).

Title: PLT OF AN SMA SEL TOOK EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID AN MLG CLBING OUT AFTER TKOF ON ASSIGNED DEP BY ATC.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING A CESSNA 182 RG, RETURNING TO ABQ ARPT FROM GRANTS ARPT, NM. MADE INITIAL RADIO CONTACT WITH ABQ APCH 25 NM W OF ABQ. WAS ASSIGNED A HDG OF 060 DEGS AND ALT OF 9500 FT. WAS ISSUED A TA FOR AN ACR Y AIRLINES MD-80 THAT WOULD BE DEPARTING ABQ RWY 26. DID NOT HAVE ACFT IN SIGHT AT THIS TIME. HEARD THE ACFT ASSIGNED A HDG OF 010 DEGS AND ALT OF 20000 FT. HEARING 20000 FT AS OPPOSED TO FL200 SEEMED UNUSUAL, BUT THE CALL SOUNDED CLR. I MADE VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE ACR Y ACFT AS IT TURNED N OUT OF TFC, AND WATCHED IT CLB AND APCH MY FLT PATH. I HEARD NO ADDITIONAL TA'S ISSUED TO ME OR THE ACR Y ACFT AND I HEARD NO ADDITIONAL ALT RESTRS PLACED ON THE ACR Y ACFT. WHEN IT APPEARED TO ME THAT A COLLISION OR NEAR COLLISION WITH THE ACR Y ACFT MIGHT OCCUR, I MADE AN IMMEDIATE, STEEP BANKED TURN TO THE L HDG 360 DEGS AND ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS OVER THE RADIO. IN MAKING THIS TURN, MY ACFT LOST 250 FT OF ALT. THE ACR Y ACFT PASSED QUICKLY AND APPEARED TO BE STILL CLBING AS IT DID SO. I RESUMED A HDG OF 060 DEGS AND ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN THE LOST ALT. THE ACR Y PLT ASKED APCH FOR MY ALT AND THE CTLR RPTED 9250 FT MSL AND I VERIFIED THAT AS CORRECT. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL THE CTLING SUPVR AFTER LNDG (WHICH I DID).
