Cleared for Takeoff
Today I was on a cross country from my home airport to an airport about 50 miles away. I was under flight following with SoCal.
During the flight I crossed over a little lake and while over the lake I heard another aircraft announcing their position in over the same lake. I kept waiting for SoCal approach to point out the other traffic to me, and me to the other traffic, but they never did.
Would it have been appropriate for me to announce my position (over the same lake that the other airplane was over)?
When I saw the other airplane they were approximately 200 to 300 feet below me coming from my left hand side across my path. If they would've been higher, or me lower, we would have collided.
