Narrative:

Cleared for visual approach for runway 9L with ILS as a backup from a 10 mi left base at fll. At approximately 3.5 - 3.0 DME on the localizer, we observed BE1900D on a right base to final to runway 9R overshoot runway 9R centerline due to strong southeast crosswind and drift towards our flight path at our altitude with surface winds of 140 degrees at 18 KTS gusting to 23 KTS. We notified fll tower and requested a deviation to the left of centerline to avoid a conflict. The BE1900 corrected back and we rejoined and were reclred to land on runway 9L. We were never advised of the BE1900 until our request to deviate. TCASII only issued a TA and we maintained visual with traffic at all times. Fll only advises of parallel visual approachs via ATIS, but has a split tower frequency. Our only clue to other traffic was our visual sighting and TCASII. An ASR was filed. A decision was made not to go around because we were only displaced approximately 1 DOT from loe and did not want to turn further to lose sight of the traffic or climb up into it. As we were now below it and to its left with them correcting back to runway 9R, we were able to rejoin final and GS at 600 ft AGL. We landed without further incident. After contacting fll tower via telephone, the controller had already talked to the PIC of the BE1900. He stated that he had a new first officer who didn't correct enough for the strong crosswind. I asked about the failure of the tower to advise us of the BE1900 and they replied that it is stated that simultaneous visual approachs are being conducted on the ATIS. I feel, for safety's concern, that traffic should be pointed out, that is overshooting final in close proximity to another aircraft on final.

Title: B727 CREW ON SIMULTANEOUS VISUAL APCH NOTED CONVERGING TFC ON PARALLEL RWY AND RECEIVED TCASII TA. MANEUVERED TO MAINTAIN SEPARATION AND RE-ESTABLISHED VISUAL FINAL APCH AND LNDG.

Narrative: CLRED FOR VISUAL APCH FOR RWY 9L WITH ILS AS A BACKUP FROM A 10 MI L BASE AT FLL. AT APPROX 3.5 - 3.0 DME ON THE LOC, WE OBSERVED BE1900D ON A R BASE TO FINAL TO RWY 9R OVERSHOOT RWY 9R CTRLINE DUE TO STRONG SE XWIND AND DRIFT TOWARDS OUR FLT PATH AT OUR ALT WITH SURFACE WINDS OF 140 DEGS AT 18 KTS GUSTING TO 23 KTS. WE NOTIFIED FLL TWR AND REQUESTED A DEV TO THE L OF CTRLINE TO AVOID A CONFLICT. THE BE1900 CORRECTED BACK AND WE REJOINED AND WERE RECLRED TO LAND ON RWY 9L. WE WERE NEVER ADVISED OF THE BE1900 UNTIL OUR REQUEST TO DEVIATE. TCASII ONLY ISSUED A TA AND WE MAINTAINED VISUAL WITH TFC AT ALL TIMES. FLL ONLY ADVISES OF PARALLEL VISUAL APCHS VIA ATIS, BUT HAS A SPLIT TWR FREQ. OUR ONLY CLUE TO OTHER TFC WAS OUR VISUAL SIGHTING AND TCASII. AN ASR WAS FILED. A DECISION WAS MADE NOT TO GO AROUND BECAUSE WE WERE ONLY DISPLACED APPROX 1 DOT FROM LOE AND DID NOT WANT TO TURN FURTHER TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE TFC OR CLB UP INTO IT. AS WE WERE NOW BELOW IT AND TO ITS L WITH THEM CORRECTING BACK TO RWY 9R, WE WERE ABLE TO REJOIN FINAL AND GS AT 600 FT AGL. WE LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. AFTER CONTACTING FLL TWR VIA TELEPHONE, THE CTLR HAD ALREADY TALKED TO THE PIC OF THE BE1900. HE STATED THAT HE HAD A NEW FO WHO DIDN'T CORRECT ENOUGH FOR THE STRONG XWIND. I ASKED ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE TWR TO ADVISE US OF THE BE1900 AND THEY REPLIED THAT IT IS STATED THAT SIMULTANEOUS VISUAL APCHS ARE BEING CONDUCTED ON THE ATIS. I FEEL, FOR SAFETY'S CONCERN, THAT TFC SHOULD BE POINTED OUT, THAT IS OVERSHOOTING FINAL IN CLOSE PROX TO ANOTHER ACFT ON FINAL.
