Narrative:
I was climbing out from ft lauderdale executive and in radar contact with miami departure. At about 1500 ft I saw a small cessna about 1/2 mi ahead (possibly approaching to fly over or land at fxe). I immediately tried to level off and rolled into a left turn. We passed within 200 ft of each other. Apparently the other pilot never saw me because he/she never attempted any evasive action. Neither before nor after the incident miami did not make any indication to me of any other traffic in my vicinity. (I would have asked miami if they saw anything after the fact, but was in too much shock!) aside from miami not saying anything, another reason why I wasn't aware of the other aircraft until so late was that there was absolutely no relative motion of the aircraft. (And I know that's no excuse!) I have no doubt that we definitely would have collided if I didn't see the other aircraft. I'm just glad I'm here to tell you about it.

Title: PLT OF AN ATX SEL SMA LEVELED OFF AND TURNED TO AVOID ANOTHER ACFT IN CLASS B AIRSPACE. NMAC.
Narrative: I WAS CLBING OUT FROM FT LAUDERDALE EXECUTIVE AND IN RADAR CONTACT WITH MIAMI DEP. AT ABOUT 1500 FT I SAW A SMALL CESSNA ABOUT 1/2 MI AHEAD (POSSIBLY APCHING TO FLY OVER OR LAND AT FXE). I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO LEVEL OFF AND ROLLED INTO A L TURN. WE PASSED WITHIN 200 FT OF EACH OTHER. APPARENTLY THE OTHER PLT NEVER SAW ME BECAUSE HE/SHE NEVER ATTEMPTED ANY EVASIVE ACTION. NEITHER BEFORE NOR AFTER THE INCIDENT MIAMI DID NOT MAKE ANY INDICATION TO ME OF ANY OTHER TFC IN MY VICINITY. (I WOULD HAVE ASKED MIAMI IF THEY SAW ANYTHING AFTER THE FACT, BUT WAS IN TOO MUCH SHOCK!) ASIDE FROM MIAMI NOT SAYING ANYTHING, ANOTHER REASON WHY I WASN'T AWARE OF THE OTHER ACFT UNTIL SO LATE WAS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RELATIVE MOTION OF THE ACFT. (AND I KNOW THAT'S NO EXCUSE!) I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE COLLIDED IF I DIDN'T SEE THE OTHER ACFT. I'M JUST GLAD I'M HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.
