Narrative:
During climb, cleared to 7500 ft, controller advised of traffic 12 O'clock position, approximately 7 mi, same altitude, opposite direction. Rate of climb was 300-500 FPM due to weight and light turbulence. Controller did not change course of other traffic (IFR), but finally wanted me to turn to 180 degrees, which was not possible due to cumulo nimbus south of flight path and was advised accordingly. Realizing proximity, he now wanted me to climb faster. I advised this was best rate possible. Controller finally issued revised heading to the other traffic (270 degrees) and myself (090 degrees), but alarm was to be heard in backgnd. Reason: failure of controller to issue proper separating headings to both aircraft earlier!
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: MIA APCH CTLR ISSUES MULTIPLE CLRNCS TO PA27 AND ANOTHER ACFT TO MAINTAIN SEPARATION WHILE ON VECTOR TOWARD CARIBBEAN AIRSPACE.
Narrative: DURING CLB, CLRED TO 7500 FT, CTLR ADVISED OF TFC 12 O'CLOCK POS, APPROX 7 MI, SAME ALT, OPPOSITE DIRECTION. RATE OF CLB WAS 300-500 FPM DUE TO WT AND LIGHT TURB. CTLR DID NOT CHANGE COURSE OF OTHER TFC (IFR), BUT FINALLY WANTED ME TO TURN TO 180 DEGS, WHICH WAS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO CUMULO NIMBUS S OF FLT PATH AND WAS ADVISED ACCORDINGLY. REALIZING PROX, HE NOW WANTED ME TO CLB FASTER. I ADVISED THIS WAS BEST RATE POSSIBLE. CTLR FINALLY ISSUED REVISED HDG TO THE OTHER TFC (270 DEGS) AND MYSELF (090 DEGS), BUT ALARM WAS TO BE HEARD IN BACKGND. REASON: FAILURE OF CTLR TO ISSUE PROPER SEPARATING HDGS TO BOTH ACFT EARLIER!
