Narrative:

Departed roswell, NM, as flight (air carrier X) on time at XX30, as a VFR flight to hobbs, NM. After initial climb through 1500 ft AGL, copilot flying, went to a cruise climb (180 KTS, 1000 FPM), to planned altitude of 13500 ft. We were still on tower frequency about 10 NM southeast of airport climbing through 7000-7500 ft. Both pilots were 'heads up' looking outside. As I looked toward my copilot, a beechcraft appeared in front right windscreen. All I had time to do was swear, push control wheel forward just a little before the wheel wells went over the cockpit. This situation could have been avoided if: 1) this 19 seat airliner was equipped with TCASII, 2) we would have had radar advisories out of the airport area (there is no radar at roswell, NM). Since these solutions are unavailable in the near future, I have taken the following precautions: 1) expedite climb through 10000 ft especially at non-radar airports and uncontrolled fields, 2) insure radar flight following is obtained as soon as possible or available, 3) inquire for handoffs to departure and ask for any 'known' traffic in the area. (After the near miss I called departure and they knew of the twin beechcraft maneuvering south of the airport.)

Title: NMAC BTWN 2 TWIN BEECH TYPE ACFT. 1 CLBING OUT FROM THE NEAR BY ARPT JUST DEPARTED AND THE OTHER MANEUVERING IN THE AREA.

Narrative: DEPARTED ROSWELL, NM, AS FLT (ACR X) ON TIME AT XX30, AS A VFR FLT TO HOBBS, NM. AFTER INITIAL CLB THROUGH 1500 FT AGL, COPLT FLYING, WENT TO A CRUISE CLB (180 KTS, 1000 FPM), TO PLANNED ALT OF 13500 FT. WE WERE STILL ON TWR FREQ ABOUT 10 NM SE OF ARPT CLBING THROUGH 7000-7500 FT. BOTH PLTS WERE 'HEADS UP' LOOKING OUTSIDE. AS I LOOKED TOWARD MY COPLT, A BEECHCRAFT APPEARED IN FRONT R WINDSCREEN. ALL I HAD TIME TO DO WAS SWEAR, PUSH CTL WHEEL FORWARD JUST A LITTLE BEFORE THE WHEEL WELLS WENT OVER THE COCKPIT. THIS SIT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF: 1) THIS 19 SEAT AIRLINER WAS EQUIPPED WITH TCASII, 2) WE WOULD HAVE HAD RADAR ADVISORIES OUT OF THE ARPT AREA (THERE IS NO RADAR AT ROSWELL, NM). SINCE THESE SOLUTIONS ARE UNAVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I HAVE TAKEN THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: 1) EXPEDITE CLB THROUGH 10000 FT ESPECIALLY AT NON-RADAR ARPTS AND UNCTLED FIELDS, 2) INSURE RADAR FLT FOLLOWING IS OBTAINED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR AVAILABLE, 3) INQUIRE FOR HDOFS TO DEP AND ASK FOR ANY 'KNOWN' TFC IN THE AREA. (AFTER THE NEAR MISS I CALLED DEP AND THEY KNEW OF THE TWIN BEECHCRAFT MANEUVERING S OF THE ARPT.)
