Narrative:
Our aircraft was climbing out of 5500 ft for 7500 ft when we knew there was traffic heading southeast inbound for landing. We didn't see the hawker until about 200 ft away. We immediately banked hard left. The hawker apparently did not know what kind of airspace they were in. They thought vero beach had radar. If vero did have radar, this problem would not have happened. Maybe there should be standard arrival and departure procedures for VFR traffic.

Title: NMAC. PLT OF A PIPER PA34 MADE A HARD R TURN DURING CLB TO AVOID A BRITISH HAWKER, HS25 DSNDING THROUGH HIS FLT PATH 5 MI FROM A NON CTLED ARPT AT 5500 FT.
Narrative: OUR ACFT WAS CLBING OUT OF 5500 FT FOR 7500 FT WHEN WE KNEW THERE WAS TFC HEADING SE INBOUND FOR LNDG. WE DIDN'T SEE THE HAWKER UNTIL ABOUT 200 FT AWAY. WE IMMEDIATELY BANKED HARD L. THE HAWKER APPARENTLY DID NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF AIRSPACE THEY WERE IN. THEY THOUGHT VERO BEACH HAD RADAR. IF VERO DID HAVE RADAR, THIS PROB WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE STANDARD ARR AND DEP PROCS FOR VFR TFC.
