Narrative:

I was performing ILS approachs to mgj runway 3 to evaluate a newly installed HSI. After calling out the aircraft's position over mgj, 4 mi out from mgj, the pilot of a plane departing runway 26 stated on frequency that practice approachs were not to be made to runway 3 as runway 26 was the active runway. I stated my intention to continue the approach and to break off the approach prior to reaching the field. The pilot of the departing aircraft became agitated and again stated that approachs to runway 3 should not be made. New york approach advised me that the pilot of the departing aircraft had complained of a 'near miss.' no such thing had taken place. Both myself and an onboard CFI had visual contact with the departing aircraft from its takeoff roll. Visual separation was maintained at all times.
