Narrative

CLBING OUT FROM MODESTO ARPT ON SCHEDULED FLT; WE WERE ON VECTORS TO INTERCEPT THE MOD 245 DEG RADIAL. AROUND 6000 FT TO 6500 FT MSL; THE STOCKTON CTLR SAID THAT WE HAD TFC AT OUR 10-11 O'CLOCK; I DID NOT HEAR THE REST; BECAUSE AT THIS TIME I WAS MAKING A RAPID MOVEMENT TO MISS AN SMA THAT WAS AT OUR ALT AND WITHIN 100 FT FROM US. IF THE CTLR HAD NOT GIVEN US THIS CALL; I BELIEVE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MIDAIR. MY ONLY CONCERN WAS WHY THE CALL DID NOT COME SOONER. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 188417: ON CLB OUT FROM MODESTO HAD JUST COMPLETED MEMORY ITEMS OR FLOW ON AFTER TKOF CHKLIST AND WAS READING CHKLIST TO ENSURE IT WAS COMPLETE. I LOOKED AND SAW WE WERE ON WHAT LOOKED TO BE A COLLISION COURSE WITH AN SMA CONVERGING FROM THE L. I IMMEDIATELY GRABBED THE CTL YOKE AND PULLED INTO A STEEPER CLB TO OVERFLY THE SMA. THE FLT ATTENDANT FELL TO THE FLOOR FROM THE SUDDEN INCREASE IN G FORCE. CONTRIBUTING TO OUR NOT SEEING THE SMA SOONER WAS BEING ON A NEW RTE AND FOLLOWING A NEW CHKLIST PROC WHICH NOW CALLS FOR SHUTTING DOWN THE AUX PWR UNIT OUT OF 5000 FT. EXCEPT FOR A SCARE; THE SYS DID WORK. THE CTLR DID HIS JOB AND WE DID OURS.
