Narrative:

While conducting flight training with a primary student (pattern work) we were told by the tower controller to go around and turn an early crosswind. After my student turned to the crosswind leg and while still climbing to pattern altitude we both saw a single engine cessna that was maneuvering to avoid us. At that time, we heard the tower controller tell us he had tried to call us 2 previous times with instructions for avoiding the conflicting traffic. The tower frequency was very congested at this time and I was also explaining to my student what was happening during this time. As a result, the tower controllers xmissions were lost in the clutter. I feel this occurrence could have been avoided if the tower controller had not initially told us to turn an early crosswind. Also, during flight training, it is better to keep instructional talk to a minimum during any critical flight periods.

Title: TRAINING IN PROGRESS. NMAC IN THE TFC PATTERN.

Narrative: WHILE CONDUCTING FLT TRAINING WITH A PRIMARY STUDENT (PATTERN WORK) WE WERE TOLD BY THE TWR CTLR TO GAR AND TURN AN EARLY XWIND. AFTER MY STUDENT TURNED TO THE XWIND LEG AND WHILE STILL CLBING TO PATTERN ALT WE BOTH SAW A SINGLE ENG CESSNA THAT WAS MANEUVERING TO AVOID US. AT THAT TIME, WE HEARD THE TWR CTLR TELL US HE HAD TRIED TO CALL US 2 PREVIOUS TIMES WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR AVOIDING THE CONFLICTING TFC. THE TWR FREQ WAS VERY CONGESTED AT THIS TIME AND I WAS ALSO EXPLAINING TO MY STUDENT WHAT WAS HAPPENING DURING THIS TIME. AS A RESULT, THE TWR CTLRS XMISSIONS WERE LOST IN THE CLUTTER. I FEEL THIS OCCURRENCE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE TWR CTLR HAD NOT INITIALLY TOLD US TO TURN AN EARLY XWIND. ALSO, DURING FLT TRAINING, IT IS BETTER TO KEEP INSTRUCTIONAL TALK TO A MINIMUM DURING ANY CRITICAL FLT PERIODS.
