Human Factors
On final to RWY27 and at approx. 1000 ft. (visual backed up by GPS27) at FXE noticed high wing Cessna crossing Final Approach Course not talking to Tower [and] not operating its transponder. So no TCAS Advisory or Resolution given. Aircraft pitch was increased; power added; configuration not changed. Near miss was approx. 75 ft. Had we not changed lateral [and] vertical track collision would most likely have occurred. Upon clearing conflict first order of business was to re-establish an on profile descent to RWY27 in order to be in position to land safely. Had we not been in a position to land safely by 500 ft. a go around would have been initiated as per SOPs [and] ACs Publications Recommendations / Requirements. Safe landing was carried out without further incident.
CL604 FO reported an NMAC with a high wing Cessna at FXE; reporter stated no TCAS received because the Cessna had no transponder signal.
