Narrative:

Aircraft X was told by pbi approach to expect runway 9L at fll. This is the longer, north side runway closest to his FBO. Approaching fll from the north, the local controller instructed aircraft X to continue overhead fll and make a left turn in for runway 27L. Aircraft X overshot runway 27L final and momentarily lined up on final with runway 27R. The pilot of aircraft X saw aircraft Y climbing toward him off of runway 9L and could see by its relative motion on his windshield that it would pass above him and slightly to his right (which it did). The pilot of aircraft X then immediately realized he was lined up with runway 27R and sidestepped over to and landed on runway 27L. The pilot of aircraft X took no additional evasive action as aircraft X was already in a descending left turn and aircraft Y was in a climbing left turn, and felt that there was no actual collision threat. Fll was just switching from an east operation to a west operation and aircraft X probably was the first west landing aircraft and aircraft Y probably was the last east departing aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: BE9L LINED UP ON THE WRONG RWY AT FLL. HE HAD LESS THAN STANDARD SPACING ON ACFT ON CLBOUT.

Narrative: ACFT X WAS TOLD BY PBI APCH TO EXPECT RWY 9L AT FLL. THIS IS THE LONGER, N SIDE RWY CLOSEST TO HIS FBO. APCHING FLL FROM THE N, THE LCL CTLR INSTRUCTED ACFT X TO CONTINUE OVERHEAD FLL AND MAKE A L TURN IN FOR RWY 27L. ACFT X OVERSHOT RWY 27L FINAL AND MOMENTARILY LINED UP ON FINAL WITH RWY 27R. THE PLT OF ACFT X SAW ACFT Y CLBING TOWARD HIM OFF OF RWY 9L AND COULD SEE BY ITS RELATIVE MOTION ON HIS WINDSHIELD THAT IT WOULD PASS ABOVE HIM AND SLIGHTLY TO HIS R (WHICH IT DID). THE PLT OF ACFT X THEN IMMEDIATELY REALIZED HE WAS LINED UP WITH RWY 27R AND SIDESTEPPED OVER TO AND LANDED ON RWY 27L. THE PLT OF ACFT X TOOK NO ADDITIONAL EVASIVE ACTION AS ACFT X WAS ALREADY IN A DSNDING L TURN AND ACFT Y WAS IN A CLBING L TURN, AND FELT THAT THERE WAS NO ACTUAL COLLISION THREAT. FLL WAS JUST SWITCHING FROM AN E OP TO A W OP AND ACFT X PROBABLY WAS THE FIRST W LNDG ACFT AND ACFT Y PROBABLY WAS THE LAST E DEPARTING ACFT.
