Human Factors
In day VMC conditions; sky clear; ceiling and visibility unlimited; we established our Cessna on a 12 mile straight-in visual approach from 2;000 FT MSL for landing at PMP. For training value the crew of two activated and followed the advisory course and glide path provided by the G1000 system for the GPS 15 approach with LPV minimums. Crew made multiple callouts on PMP CTAF. PMP Class Delta was not in effect at that early. Tower opens at 0800 local. Passing through 1;000 FT MSL; crew was alerted by TAS that an aircraft was within 2 miles; 200 FT below our altitude. Both crew members searched for the aircraft; assuming it was a light GA aircraft departing the field and not announcing on CTAF.Passing through 900 FT MSL; on the advisory glide path; at 2.9 NM from the field; 2.5 NM from the approach end of Runway 15; crew observed a light jet traveling north; approximately 100 FT BELOW our altitude; and approximately 300 FT to our rear. There was no time to take any evasive action; and the jet was never heard on the CTAF frequency. Crew called FXE Tower (over 6 miles south) and determined a jet matching the description had just departed FXE. It is likely the jet was flying a low level trip to BCT; and rather than check the PMP CTAF frequency; switched directly to BCT which is 6 miles north of our near miss. It was very surprising to see a light jet operating below 1;000 MSL over a populated airport over 6 miles from a point of departure or arrival.
A C182 Instructor reported a light jet flew below them at approximately 800 FT AGL in the vicinity of PMP airport; apparently enroute to another airport.
