CLOSE PROX GA-SMA GA-SMT ON V106.

Narrative

WHILE LEVEL AT 4500'; HDG 246 DEGS ON VICTOR 106 DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN; BRADLEY APCH CTL INSTRUCTED ME TO 'TURN RIGHT HDG 330 DEGS FOR VECTORS AROUND TFC.' WHILE TURNING RIGHT FROM A HDG OF 246 DEGS TO HDG 330 DEGS; WELL INTO THE RIGHT HAND TURN; THE CONVERGING TFC APPEARED; TAKING UP THE MAJORITY OF THE WINDSHIELD OF THE SMA I WAS FLYING; APPROX 20-30 YDS AWAY. I TOOK EVASIVE ACTION BY EXECUTING A QUICK CLBING RIGHT TURN. IT APPEARED THE SMT TOOK NO EVASIVE ACTION IN THIS INCIDENT. I BELIEVED THE SITUATION OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED VIS DUE TO THE SUN AND BECAUSE OF THE VECTOR BRADLEY APCH ISSUED ME. THE ALTIMETER SETTING I WAS GIVEN WAS 30-59 (BY BRADLEY); THE SMT WAS SAID TO BE VFR. I WAS SHOWING A LNDG LIGHT AT THE TIME AND I WAS TRANSPONDER EQUIPPED WITH MODE C. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: THE RPTR FILED A NEAR MISS RPT WITH THE FAA AND HAS BEEN ADVISED THEY ARE CONTACTING THE OTHER PLT. RPTR HAS ALSO SENT A LETTER REQUESTING THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATION. RPTR SAID HE MADE A STANDARD RATE TURN TO THE HDG ASSIGNED BY BDL AS SOON AS IT WAS GIVEN BUT DID NOT TRY TO TALK TO BDL ABOUT WHY THEY GAVE THE VECTOR.
