PRACTICE INST APCH AT UNCTLED FIELD. NMAC WITH DEPARTING VFR ACFT.

Narrative

PF WAS USING A VIEW LIMITING DEVICE (FOGGLES) AND PRACTICING THE LOC/DME 19 APCH AT TUNE ARPT IN NASHVILLE. SAFETY PLT (ALSO INST RATED) WAS OPERATING COMS RADIOS IN ADDITION TO SERVING AS SAFETY PLT. AWOS RPTED WIND TO BE CALM. UNICOM FREQ WAS BEING MONITORED. WE HEARD NO LCL TFC. SAFETY PLT RPTED POS OF OUR ACFT AT THE FINAL APCH FIX (APPROX 7 DME) AND AGAIN AT APPROX 2 1/2 MI FINAL. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BROAD DAYLIGHT IN CLR; SUNNY SKIES; OUR LNDG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED FOR INCREASED VISIBILITY. I CONTINUED DSCNT AFTER THE LAST STEPDOWN FIX (2 DME) AND REMOVED FOGGLES TO OBSERVE AN SMA DEPARTING RWY 1. WE DEVIATED SLIGHTLY L AS HE WAS MORE TO OUR R THAN HEAD-ON (AND WAS COMMENCING A L TURN TO REMAIN IN THE PATTERN); AND CONTINUED TO A LNDG ON RWY 19 WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE OTHER ACFT TURNED OUT TO BE A STUDENT ON HIS FIRST SOLO. IN A CONVERSATION WITH THE STUDENT AND HIS INSTRUCTOR AFTERWARD; WE LEARNED THAT THE STUDENT HAD HEARD OUR POS RPT AT THE FAF BUT NOT THE 2 1/2 MI FINAL RPT. HE STATED HE HAD BROADCAST HIS DEP INTENTIONS; BUT WE DID NOT HEAR IT. I THINK THE LESSON TO BE (RE)LEARNED HERE IS THE IMPORTANCE OF INCREASED VIGILANCE AT UNCTLED FIELDS; ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WIND IS CALM AND MORE THAN 1 RWY MAY PROPERLY BE USED. WHILE THE SAFETY PLT DID NOT OBSERVE THE DEPARTING ACFT UNTIL WE WERE NEAR IT; THE DEPARTING ACFT; AWARE THAT TFC WAS INBOUND IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION; FAILED TO INSURE THAT THERE WAS SUFFICIENT SEPARATION TO ALLOW A DEP WITHOUT HAVING TO GIVE WAY TO THE LNDG ACFT (WHICH TECHNICALLY HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY). WE DID NOT REQUEST AN ADVISORY FROM THE UNICOM OPERATOR; THINKING IT SUFFICIENT TO MONITOR THE FREQ FROM 10 MI OR SO OUT AND BROADCASTING OUR POS AND INTENTIONS. AT THE RISK OF ADDING TO THE UNICOM CLUTTER; I THINK WE WILL REQUEST ADVISORIES REGULARLY IN THE FUTURE.
