Narrative:
I was conducting instrument attitude training in a robinson 4- 22 helicopter. I was over the livermore airport at 3000 ft MSL, my landing light was on. I was heading approximately 250 degrees magnetic. The other aircraft was a low wing airplane approximately 30 degrees to my right at the same altitude. The airplane heading was approximately 090 degrees magnetic. Due to the situation of the aircraft, my evasive action was a diving left turn when I saw the airplane approximately 50-100 ft way.

Title: HELI AT NIGHT AT 3000 FT HAS NMAC WITH AN AIRPLANE. TRAINING IN PROGRESS, ROTARY WINGED TFC.
Narrative: I WAS CONDUCTING INST ATTITUDE TRAINING IN A ROBINSON 4- 22 HELI. I WAS OVER THE LIVERMORE ARPT AT 3000 FT MSL, MY LNDG LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS HEADING APPROX 250 DEGS MAGNETIC. THE OTHER ACFT WAS A LOW WING AIRPLANE APPROX 30 DEGS TO MY R AT THE SAME ALT. THE AIRPLANE HDG WAS APPROX 090 DEGS MAGNETIC. DUE TO THE SIT OF THE ACFT, MY EVASIVE ACTION WAS A DIVING L TURN WHEN I SAW THE AIRPLANE APPROX 50-100 FT WAY.
