Narrative:

On approach to runway 27R at fll, TCASII gave an RA advisory shortly after it had given a TA at about 3 mi out at 1000 ft AGL. We were flying a visual approach backed up by the ILS. Tower allowed a cessna to come down the coast to land on the south runway. Tower did call this traffic out to us, but we never spotted it. This traffic was 500 ft below us and was supposed to pass behind us, instead the aircraft passed below and in front of us, setting off the RA. A go around was accomplished following TCASII guidance. We were vectored to another visual approach to runway 27R and landed without incident. The traffic pattern was busy. Had it not been, I believe tower would have devoted more attention to separating the cessna and us.

Narrative: ON APCH TO RWY 27R AT FLL, TCASII GAVE AN RA ADVISORY SHORTLY AFTER IT HAD GIVEN A TA AT ABOUT 3 MI OUT AT 1000 FT AGL. WE WERE FLYING A VISUAL APCH BACKED UP BY THE ILS. TWR ALLOWED A CESSNA TO COME DOWN THE COAST TO LAND ON THE S RWY. TWR DID CALL THIS TFC OUT TO US, BUT WE NEVER SPOTTED IT. THIS TFC WAS 500 FT BELOW US AND WAS SUPPOSED TO PASS BEHIND US, INSTEAD THE ACFT PASSED BELOW AND IN FRONT OF US, SETTING OFF THE RA. A GAR WAS ACCOMPLISHED FOLLOWING TCASII GUIDANCE. WE WERE VECTORED TO ANOTHER VISUAL APCH TO RWY 27R AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE TFC PATTERN WAS BUSY. HAD IT NOT BEEN, I BELIEVE TWR WOULD HAVE DEVOTED MORE ATTN TO SEPARATING THE CESSNA AND US.
