Narrative:
Lbb approach vectored air carrier X and air carrier Y for runway 26 lbb. Lbb tower cleared a C310 for takeoff runway 8. After C310 turned south and then cleared on course which put him in an intercept course with flight air carrier X. TCASII RA was given. We abandoned the approach, went missed to avoid collision. Had to make left pattern back to runway 26 lbb, due to unstable approach criteria.

Title: NMAC. FLC OF AN ACR MDT TURBOPROP TOOK EVASIVE ACTION BY MAKING A MISSED APCH DURING VECTORS FOR LNDG IN RESPONSE TO TCASII RA AND THE VISUAL SIGHTING OF A C310 DEPARTING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION RWY TO WHICH THEY WERE APCHING.
Narrative: LBB APCH VECTORED ACR X AND ACR Y FOR RWY 26 LBB. LBB TWR CLRED A C310 FOR TKOF RWY 8. AFTER C310 TURNED S AND THEN CLRED ON COURSE WHICH PUT HIM IN AN INTERCEPT COURSE WITH FLT ACR X. TCASII RA WAS GIVEN. WE ABANDONED THE APCH, WENT MISSED TO AVOID COLLISION. HAD TO MAKE L PATTERN BACK TO RWY 26 LBB, DUE TO UNSTABLE APCH CRITERIA.
