ACR FORCED TO MAKE GAR DUE TO ACFT ON RWY. PAX SAYS HE WILL FILE RPT AS HE BELIEVES REAL REASON IS GEAR NOT DOWN.

Narrative

APCH CTL VECTORED OUR ACFT (ARRIVING FROM S) TO BE #2 BEHIND A LIGHT ACFT WHICH WAS IN A R-HAND PATTERN FOR RWY 28. WAS CLRED FOR VISUAL APCH AND HANDED OFF TO TWR ON 3 MI FINAL WITH #1 ACFT TURNING APPROX 1 MI FINAL. I (PNF) ASKED TWR IF WE SHOULD DO A 360 DEG TURN. TWR REPLIED THAT THE #1 ACFT HAD NOT FLOWN A TIGHT PATTERN AS REQUESTED; BUT SAID THAT 'IT SHOULD WORK OUT.' TWR REQUESTED #1 ACFT TO EXIT THE RWY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; DUE TO MLG ON 1 1/2 MI FINAL. NO RESPONSE. ACFT WAS STILL ON THE RWY AS WE APCHED THRESHOLD. CAPT (PF) INITIATED GAR. WE RPTED GAR TO TWR DUE TO ACFT ON THE RWY. WAS CLRED FOR VISUAL DOWNWIND TO FOLLOW ACFT ON FINAL. SUBSEQUENT LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL. RPT IS SUBMITTED BECAUSE FLT ATTENDANT AND STATION AGENT STATED THAT A PAX IS FILING A RPT CLAIMING THAT OUR GAR WAS BECAUSE WE HAD FAILED TO EXTEND THE LNDG GEAR. WE'RE UNSURE OF PAX MOTIVATION; BUT SUSPECT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS A JERK; SPECTACULARLY STUPID; OR USING BAD DRUGS. PAX WERE ADVISED OF THE REASON FOR THE GAR VIA PA ANNOUNCEMENT DURING DOWNWIND LEG.
