Narrative:

My aircraft was level at 1000 ft MSL. Our position was 6 NM west of runway 9R at mia international. We were within class east airspace below mia's class B. Our heading was approximately ssw (190-195 degrees). We were in preparation for landing at tmb. Near miss occurred with DC9, fokker 100 type aircraft on approach to mia's runway 9R. Distances provided on reverse side are rough estimates at best. No evasive action was immediately taken nor was it required. Mia's class B airspace base begins at 1500 ft MSL in our position. Said jet aircraft appeared to be on approach, below class B airspace.

Title: NMAC BTWN A C150 SBOUND AT 1000 FT MSL, AND 6 MI W OF PRIMARY HUB ARPT, AND A DC9 STRAIGHT IN TO THE PRIMARY ARPT AT 1200 FT MSL. NO EVASIVE ACTION TAKEN AND THE C150 WAS BENEATH CLASS B AIRSPACE IN CLASS E AIRSPACE ENRTE TO AN ARPT S OF THE PRIMARY ARPT.

Narrative: MY ACFT WAS LEVEL AT 1000 FT MSL. OUR POS WAS 6 NM W OF RWY 9R AT MIA INTL. WE WERE WITHIN CLASS E AIRSPACE BELOW MIA'S CLASS B. OUR HEADING WAS APPROX SSW (190-195 DEGS). WE WERE IN PREPARATION FOR LNDG AT TMB. NEAR MISS OCCURRED WITH DC9, FOKKER 100 TYPE ACFT ON APCH TO MIA'S RWY 9R. DISTANCES PROVIDED ON REVERSE SIDE ARE ROUGH ESTIMATES AT BEST. NO EVASIVE ACTION WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN NOR WAS IT REQUIRED. MIA'S CLASS B AIRSPACE BASE BEGINS AT 1500 FT MSL IN OUR POS. SAID JET ACFT APPEARED TO BE ON APCH, BELOW CLASS B AIRSPACE.
