Narrative:

On dec/fri/03, while operating a flight from sfb to tjsj a near miss situation with another aircraft occurred. After departing runway 9L (runway heading) out of sfb and while climbing out of 900 ft MSL to an assigned altitude of 3000 ft MSL, we encountered an aircraft on our flight path. An evasive maneuver was executed to avoid the aircraft (a turn to the left, northerly heading). The near miss was reported to sfb tower. Sfb tower reported that the only possible aircraft in our vicinity could have been a small aircraft that had been cleared for takeoff on runway 9C prior to our takeoff clearance.

Title: ACR DEP FROM SFB EXPERIENCES NMAC WITH LIGHT ACFT AT 9000 FT MSL.

Narrative: ON DEC/FRI/03, WHILE OPERATING A FLT FROM SFB TO TJSJ A NEAR MISS SIT WITH ANOTHER ACFT OCCURRED. AFTER DEPARTING RWY 9L (RWY HEADING) OUT OF SFB AND WHILE CLBING OUT OF 900 FT MSL TO AN ASSIGNED ALT OF 3000 FT MSL, WE ENCOUNTERED AN ACFT ON OUR FLT PATH. AN EVASIVE MANEUVER WAS EXECUTED TO AVOID THE ACFT (A TURN TO THE L, NORTHERLY HEADING). THE NEAR MISS WAS RPTED TO SFB TWR. SFB TWR RPTED THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE ACFT IN OUR VICINITY COULD HAVE BEEN A SMALL ACFT THAT HAD BEEN CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 9C PRIOR TO OUR TKOF CLRNC.
