Narrative:

While flying the tyger arrival into kansas city, we experienced an airborne near miss situation. Approach control had been busy while giving vectors to aircraft in vicinity. We received a heading toward the airport and were instructed to report the airport in sight for the visual approach. We then reported the airport in sight 2 times with no response from ATC. At this time we were flying at 3000 ft as instructed. We then reported the airport in sight for a third time. We were then given a traffic alert by ATC and instructed to turn left to heading 280 degrees. Traffic, less than 1 mi off our nose, was heading southwest. We were on a northwest heading. The traffic crossed from right to left less than 1/8 mi off our nose. We did however acquire the traffic visually and took evasive action that constituted a slight right turn. It is my feeling that had we executed the left turn to 280 degrees, a collision was an 85% possibility. I believe that if we had been given a TA sooner, this near miss would have been avoided.

Title: BE40 FLC MAKE EVASIVE MANEUVER FROM TFC ALERT FROM MCI APCH WHILE ON THE TYGER STAR INTO MKC.

Narrative: WHILE FLYING THE TYGER ARR INTO KANSAS CITY, WE EXPERIENCED AN AIRBORNE NEAR MISS SIT. APCH CTL HAD BEEN BUSY WHILE GIVING VECTORS TO ACFT IN VICINITY. WE RECEIVED A HEADING TOWARD THE ARPT AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO RPT THE ARPT IN SIGHT FOR THE VISUAL APCH. WE THEN RPTED THE ARPT IN SIGHT 2 TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE FROM ATC. AT THIS TIME WE WERE FLYING AT 3000 FT AS INSTRUCTED. WE THEN RPTED THE ARPT IN SIGHT FOR A THIRD TIME. WE WERE THEN GIVEN A TFC ALERT BY ATC AND INSTRUCTED TO TURN L TO HEADING 280 DEGS. TFC, LESS THAN 1 MI OFF OUR NOSE, WAS HEADING SW. WE WERE ON A NW HEADING. THE TFC CROSSED FROM R TO L LESS THAN 1/8 MI OFF OUR NOSE. WE DID HOWEVER ACQUIRE THE TFC VISUALLY AND TOOK EVASIVE ACTION THAT CONSTITUTED A SLIGHT R TURN. IT IS MY FEELING THAT HAD WE EXECUTED THE L TURN TO 280 DEGS, A COLLISION WAS AN 85% POSSIBILITY. I BELIEVE THAT IF WE HAD BEEN GIVEN A TA SOONER, THIS NEAR MISS WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
