Narrative:

I was 10 mi east of ads heading sse when an small transport Y passed underneath my right wing heading in the same direction. I was flying an small aircraft and had been receiving VFR flight advisories for about 20 mi. The controller did not advise me of the traffic until it was 3 mi in front of me. He was handling what seemed 5-6 aircraft at the time. I thought he would have had time to advise me of the aircraft. The other aircraft was heading into the sun, as I was, and apparently did not see me, he did not take any evasive action. I did not see him until he passed me, it came from behind and to my right so it would have been difficult to see anyway.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: NMAC.

Narrative: I WAS 10 MI E OF ADS HDG SSE WHEN AN SMT Y PASSED UNDERNEATH MY R WING HDG IN THE SAME DIRECTION. I WAS FLYING AN SMA AND HAD BEEN RECEIVING VFR FLT ADVISORIES FOR ABOUT 20 MI. THE CTLR DID NOT ADVISE ME OF THE TFC UNTIL IT WAS 3 MI IN FRONT OF ME. HE WAS HANDLING WHAT SEEMED 5-6 ACFT AT THE TIME. I THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE HAD TIME TO ADVISE ME OF THE ACFT. THE OTHER ACFT WAS HDG INTO THE SUN, AS I WAS, AND APPARENTLY DID NOT SEE ME, HE DID NOT TAKE ANY EVASIVE ACTION. I DID NOT SEE HIM UNTIL HE PASSED ME, IT CAME FROM BEHIND AND TO MY R SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYWAY.
