Narrative:

I observed a mlt approximately 1 mi sse of eyw tower heading nne approximately 1000 ft. I called nqx tower to find out what was happening. They said he was on a wide right base to runway B that he came from the south. This was not coordination and we had just launched a VFR small aircraft off runway 9 with a right to the south. The local control (not I) observed the small aircraft turn to avoid the mlt. The small aircraft was already switched to nqx VFR advisory.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: MLT ENTERED EYW ATA WITHOUT PROPER ATCT ATCT INTERFAC COORD. SMA SEE AND AVOID CONCEPT EVASIVE ACTION TAKEN FROM MLT. OPDEV.

Narrative: I OBSERVED A MLT APPROX 1 MI SSE OF EYW TWR HDG NNE APPROX 1000 FT. I CALLED NQX TWR TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY SAID HE WAS ON A WIDE R BASE TO RWY B THAT HE CAME FROM THE S. THIS WAS NOT COORD AND WE HAD JUST LAUNCHED A VFR SMA OFF RWY 9 WITH A R TO THE S. THE LC (NOT I) OBSERVED THE SMA TURN TO AVOID THE MLT. THE SMA WAS ALREADY SWITCHED TO NQX VFR ADVISORY.
