Narrative:

After takeoff from runway 33 pmp called mia departure 119.7 who acknowledged radar contact at 2000 ft. Was given a vector of 270 degrees for fll runway 8 arkes transition. Upon completing left turn to 270 degrees, in a broken layer of clouds, saw a single engine low wing aircraft about 50 ft directly below me, heading in same direction. Took evasive action to avoid midair collision and called departure control to alert him of conflict. He replied 'there are numerous targets in the area.' mia ATC should review current practice of vectoring northbound IFR departures through or near concentrated flight training area A-291A. There is a much greater potential for conflicts as flight training activity has increased markedly in that area in recent yrs. For arkes transition a vector of 320 degrees out of pmp would avoid the flight training area, and be a more direct route to the intersection. Additionally, it would provide better separation from departures using fxe runway 31 when the wind direction is from the northwest.

Title: PA28 TAKES EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID ACFT ON DEP IN MIA AIRSPACE.

Narrative: AFTER TKOF FROM RWY 33 PMP CALLED MIA DEP 119.7 WHO ACKNOWLEDGED RADAR CONTACT AT 2000 FT. WAS GIVEN A VECTOR OF 270 DEGS FOR FLL RWY 8 ARKES TRANSITION. UPON COMPLETING L TURN TO 270 DEGS, IN A BROKEN LAYER OF CLOUDS, SAW A SINGLE ENG LOW WING ACFT ABOUT 50 FT DIRECTLY BELOW ME, HEADING IN SAME DIRECTION. TOOK EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID MIDAIR COLLISION AND CALLED DEP CTL TO ALERT HIM OF CONFLICT. HE REPLIED 'THERE ARE NUMEROUS TARGETS IN THE AREA.' MIA ATC SHOULD REVIEW CURRENT PRACTICE OF VECTORING NBOUND IFR DEPS THROUGH OR NEAR CONCENTRATED FLT TRAINING AREA A-291A. THERE IS A MUCH GREATER POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICTS AS FLT TRAINING ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED MARKEDLY IN THAT AREA IN RECENT YRS. FOR ARKES TRANSITION A VECTOR OF 320 DEGS OUT OF PMP WOULD AVOID THE FLT TRAINING AREA, AND BE A MORE DIRECT RTE TO THE INTXN. ADDITIONALLY, IT WOULD PROVIDE BETTER SEPARATION FROM DEPS USING FXE RWY 31 WHEN THE WIND DIRECTION IS FROM THE NW.
