Narrative:
Aircraft X on instrument CFI check ride. Aircraft Y approaching field from southwest. Both aircraft up on CTAF. Aircraft X had called established on localizer approach; aircraft Y reported southwest of field. Aircraft X called FAF inbound. At approximately 1.3 mi from runway; aircraft X PF removed instrument visor and transitioned to visual landing approach. Approximately 5-6 seconds later aircraft X PF detected aircraft Y slightly ahead and to the left; belly-up to aircraft X. Aircraft X initiated right turn and wave-off to deconflict. Recommendations: VFR see-and-avoid failure by both aircraft. Aircraft X could have made additional calls on final. Flight examiner in left seat of aircraft X needed to more carefully clear flight path. PF of aircraft X needed to immediately assume visual clearance efforts as soon as hood removed. Both aircraft needed to more effectively use radios to deconflict. Aircraft Y failed to clear final approach corridor before turning final. Incident briefed to flight school instructors and chief pilot to incorporate lessons learned. Attempted to contact aircraft Y pilot on deck at ZZZ. While airborne queried aircraft Y pilot and was informed that aircraft Y pilot never saw aircraft X.

Title: PIPER PILOT ON CFII CHECK RIDE REPORTS NMAC WITH BEECHCRAFT AT 300 FEET AS THE HOOD IS REMOVED AT LOC MDA.
Narrative: ACFT X ON INST CFI CHK RIDE. ACFT Y APCHING FIELD FROM SW. BOTH ACFT UP ON CTAF. ACFT X HAD CALLED ESTABLISHED ON LOC APCH; ACFT Y RPTED SW OF FIELD. ACFT X CALLED FAF INBOUND. AT APPROX 1.3 MI FROM RWY; ACFT X PF REMOVED INSTRUMENT VISOR AND TRANSITIONED TO VISUAL LNDG APCH. APPROX 5-6 SECONDS LATER ACFT X PF DETECTED ACFT Y SLIGHTLY AHEAD AND TO THE L; BELLY-UP TO ACFT X. ACFT X INITIATED R TURN AND WAVE-OFF TO DECONFLICT. RECOMMENDATIONS: VFR SEE-AND-AVOID FAILURE BY BOTH ACFT. ACFT X COULD HAVE MADE ADDITIONAL CALLS ON FINAL. FLT EXAMINER IN L SEAT OF ACFT X NEEDED TO MORE CAREFULLY CLEAR FLT PATH. PF OF ACFT X NEEDED TO IMMEDIATELY ASSUME VISUAL CLRNC EFFORTS AS SOON AS HOOD REMOVED. BOTH ACFT NEEDED TO MORE EFFECTIVELY USE RADIOS TO DECONFLICT. ACFT Y FAILED TO CLEAR FINAL APCH CORRIDOR BEFORE TURNING FINAL. INCIDENT BRIEFED TO FLT SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS AND CHIEF PLT TO INCORPORATE LESSONS LEARNED. ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT ACFT Y PLT ON DECK AT ZZZ. WHILE AIRBORNE QUERIED ACFT Y PLT AND WAS INFORMED THAT ACFT Y PLT NEVER SAW ACFT X.
