Synopsis

Flight Instructor on training flight in C210 aircraft reported NMAC with another aircraft.

Narrative

My student and I departed ZZZ at approximately XA25 CDT on an instrument training flight. My student was placed under a view-limiting device during the initial climb-out from Runway XX. I was acting as the Instructor and Safety Pilot. We began a left-hand turn at approximately 2;200 ft. MSL for a departure to the SW towards ZZZ1 while climbing to a cruise altitude of 4;500 ft. MSL. During the turn SW bound; I noticed traffic on the ADS-B traffic screen. I began scanning for the traffic; which was at our approximate 3 o'clock position; but due to the high-wing nature of the aircraft; I was unable to visually locate it. We received a traffic alert from the ADS-B system; stating the traffic was 300 ft. above. I am uncertain of the lateral distance. At this point; I took over control of the aircraft and performed an evasive maneuver. I was able to visually locate the aircraft passing behind us approximately 2-3 SM away; at which point I determined the other aircraft was no longer a factor; and returned the aircraft to straight-and-level flight. I then returned aircraft control to my student.Conditions during flight were VMC with unrestricted visibility. We were in Class E airspace; outside of the ZZZ2 Class D.During the return flight inbound to ZZZ; we contacted ZZZ2 Approach; at which point it was determined the conflicting aircraft had been inbound to ZZZ2 on the ILS XY approach.I believe this incident could have been avoided by limiting the initial climb to 2;500 MSL until contacting ZZZ2 Approach and/or departing the initial airport environment. I have briefed this with my student before; and it is our typical plan of action; especially when Runway XX is in use and ZZZ and Runway XY is in use at ZZZ2. However; this was a busy phase of flight after the initial climb-out; and I was instructing my student on AP configuration and flight plan management; while he also completed the climb checklist.I thoroughly debriefed this incident with my student at the end of our flight. Moving forward; a diligent take-off briefing will be performed to include: initial climb altitude of 2;500 MSL until contacting ZZZ2 Approach for traffic advisories and deconfliction.

Second reporter narrative

My Instructor and I departed ZZZ at approximately XA25 CDT on an instrument training flight. I was placed under a view limiting device during the initial climb out from Runway XX. We began a left hand turn at approximately 2;200 ft. MSL for a departure to the SW towards ZZZ1 while climbing to a cruise altitude of 4;500 ft. MSL. During the turn SW we noticed traffic on the ADS-B traffic screen. We began scanning for traffic and noticed they were at our 3 o'clock position on our avionics but my Instructor couldn't see them cause of the high wing on the plane. He took control of the plane and performed an evasive maneuver. He was then able to locate the aircraft passing behind us approximately 2-3 SM away and that it was no longer a factor. Aircraft control was then returned to me.Conditions during flight were VMC with unrestricted visibility. We were in Class E airspace; outside of ZZZ2 Class D airspace.During the return flight inbound to ZZZ we contacted ZZZ2 approach at which point it was determined the conflicting aircraft had been inbound to ZZZ2 on the ILS XY approach.I believe this incident could have been avoided by limiting the initial climb to 2;500 ft. MSL until contacting ZZZ2 Approach and/or departing the initial airport environment. My Instructor briefed me on this before and it was our typical plan; and especially when ZZZ Runway XX is in use along with ZZZ2 Runway XY. However this was a busy phase of flight after the initial climb out; and I was receiving instruction on autopilot configuration and flight plan management while I also completed the climb checklist.My Instructor thoroughly debriefed me on the incident at the end of our flight. Moving forward a diligent take off briefing will be performed to include: initial climb altitude of 2;500 ft. MSL until contacting ZZZ2 Departure for traffic advisories and deconfliction.
