Narrative:

Fxe was landing/departing runway 26/31 simultaneously. I called tower the first time 30 mi west in 3000 ft heading direct fxe, and was told to enter a right downwind for runway 26 and report midfield squawking 1200. The controller was very busy, so I decided to give him a new position report 10 mi west, which I did. The controller again told me to enter a right downwind runway 26, but this time in a rather hard tone. I turned all lights on on the airplane, because it was 10-15 mins after sunset and we were close to a very busy airport (navigation lights, beacon, strobes and landing and taxi lights). I was paying close attention to the conversation on the radio, while scanning the outside area for traffic. I suddenly saw an airplane on my 1:30 O'clock position climbing through my altitude. Distance was 1/4 mi maximum. I pushed the yoke full forward with the power idle and was able to avoid the other aircraft by a few ft. The other aircraft had no light on, not even a beacon. He did not take any evasive action, and continued his climb as if nothing happened. After I advised the controller that I just missed another aircraft by a few ft, the only reply I got was 'cleared to land runway 26.' I do not know if the aircraft was taking off runway 31, or was on the missed approach ILS runway 8. I did not see the other traffic because it was nearly dark, he had no lights, and he might have been covered by the door post.

Title: NMAC BTWN AN SMA SEL ON DOWNWIND LEG AND ANOTHER ACFT CLBING THROUGH HIS FLT PATH AT A CTLED ARPT.

Narrative: FXE WAS LNDG/DEPARTING RWY 26/31 SIMULTANEOUSLY. I CALLED TWR THE FIRST TIME 30 MI W IN 3000 FT HDG DIRECT FXE, AND WAS TOLD TO ENTER A R DOWNWIND FOR RWY 26 AND RPT MIDFIELD SQUAWKING 1200. THE CTLR WAS VERY BUSY, SO I DECIDED TO GIVE HIM A NEW POS RPT 10 MI W, WHICH I DID. THE CTLR AGAIN TOLD ME TO ENTER A R DOWNWIND RWY 26, BUT THIS TIME IN A RATHER HARD TONE. I TURNED ALL LIGHTS ON ON THE AIRPLANE, BECAUSE IT WAS 10-15 MINS AFTER SUNSET AND WE WERE CLOSE TO A VERY BUSY ARPT (NAV LIGHTS, BEACON, STROBES AND LNDG AND TAXI LIGHTS). I WAS PAYING CLOSE ATTN TO THE CONVERSATION ON THE RADIO, WHILE SCANNING THE OUTSIDE AREA FOR TFC. I SUDDENLY SAW AN AIRPLANE ON MY 1:30 O'CLOCK POS CLBING THROUGH MY ALT. DISTANCE WAS 1/4 MI MAX. I PUSHED THE YOKE FULL FORWARD WITH THE PWR IDLE AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE OTHER ACFT BY A FEW FT. THE OTHER ACFT HAD NO LIGHT ON, NOT EVEN A BEACON. HE DID NOT TAKE ANY EVASIVE ACTION, AND CONTINUED HIS CLB AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER I ADVISED THE CTLR THAT I JUST MISSED ANOTHER ACFT BY A FEW FT, THE ONLY REPLY I GOT WAS 'CLRED TO LAND RWY 26.' I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ACFT WAS TAKING OFF RWY 31, OR WAS ON THE MISSED APCH ILS RWY 8. I DID NOT SEE THE OTHER TFC BECAUSE IT WAS NEARLY DARK, HE HAD NO LIGHTS, AND HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE DOOR POST.
