Narrative:

I was flying in the boston metropolitan area following the southeast expressway on a VFR flight under contact with a local traffic reporting agency approximately 2-3 NM ssw of bos airport. Boston skyways controller advised me of traffic on a right turnout, climbing off of bos. Both myself and the commercial pilot next to me had traffic in sight and proceeded as usual. I estimate the distance to be approximately 600 ft or more vertically and 3000 ft or more horizontally. There was no need for evasive action and none was taken. The conflicting turboprop on right turnout from boston was off to my left and I was off of his right, therefore I had the right-of-way as per FARS. The controller told both myself and the other traffic to maintain visual separation and we both complied. Traffic passed well above and behind me and no other conflicts occurred. I am writing this report in order to identify that neither the bos controller controling my flight nor myself should be responsible for this so-called/alleged incident. The other aircraft filed a near miss report with boston, claiming a near miss occurred and he followed a TCASII RA. Although he was most likely under an IFR flight plan, it was VMC and they would still be responsible to 'see and avoid' other traffic as well and feel that no blame should be placed on either the controller or myself.

Title: PLT OF SMA ON TFC WATCH FLT HAS POSSIBLE LTSS FROM LTT COMMUTER CLBING OUT. NEITHER PLT NOR CTLR BELIEVES THIS IS A PROB, BUT COMMUTER FLC FILES A NEAR MISS RPT.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING IN THE BOSTON METROPOLITAN AREA FOLLOWING THE SE EXPRESSWAY ON A VFR FLT UNDER CONTACT WITH A LCL TFC RPTING AGENCY APPROX 2-3 NM SSW OF BOS ARPT. BOSTON SKYWAYS CTLR ADVISED ME OF TFC ON A R TURNOUT, CLBING OFF OF BOS. BOTH MYSELF AND THE COMMERCIAL PLT NEXT TO ME HAD TFC IN SIGHT AND PROCEEDED AS USUAL. I ESTIMATE THE DISTANCE TO BE APPROX 600 FT OR MORE VERTLY AND 3000 FT OR MORE HORIZLY. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR EVASIVE ACTION AND NONE WAS TAKEN. THE CONFLICTING TURBOPROP ON R TURNOUT FROM BOSTON WAS OFF TO MY L AND I WAS OFF OF HIS R, THEREFORE I HAD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AS PER FARS. THE CTLR TOLD BOTH MYSELF AND THE OTHER TFC TO MAINTAIN VISUAL SEPARATION AND WE BOTH COMPLIED. TFC PASSED WELL ABOVE AND BEHIND ME AND NO OTHER CONFLICTS OCCURRED. I AM WRITING THIS RPT IN ORDER TO IDENT THAT NEITHER THE BOS CTLR CTLING MY FLT NOR MYSELF SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SO-CALLED/ALLEGED INCIDENT. THE OTHER ACFT FILED A NEAR MISS RPT WITH BOSTON, CLAIMING A NEAR MISS OCCURRED AND HE FOLLOWED A TCASII RA. ALTHOUGH HE WAS MOST LIKELY UNDER AN IFR FLT PLAN, IT WAS VMC AND THEY WOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO 'SEE AND AVOID' OTHER TFC AS WELL AND FEEL THAT NO BLAME SHOULD BE PLACED ON EITHER THE CTLR OR MYSELF.
