Narrative

FLT CLRED FOR VOR 13R APCH. WHEN ON APCH; TOLD BY APCH THAT BOTH RWYS 13 WERE BEING CLOSED. INSTRUCTED TO MAKE A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 22R; FLY CLOSE IN TFC. I PROCEEDED TO SET UP FOR L TFC FOR RWY 22R. ADVISED JFK TWR THAT WE WERE GOING TO FLY L TFC. THEY RESPONDED WITH 'OK; CLR TO LAND RWY 22R.' AS THE FLT ENTERED A L DOWNWIND JFK TWR CALLED OUT TFC A 'DC-9 AT 12 O'CLOCK AND 5 MI. ADVISE TFC IN SIGHT.' TCASII RA WARNING WENT OFF AND I TURNED THE ACFT AWAY FROM THE DC-9 AND STARTED A DSCNT. THE DC-9 WENT AROUND. I TURNED BACK IN TO LAND. THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF ASS-U-MING' BY APCH AND MYSELF THAT THE OTHER PARTY IS AWARE OF WHAT THE OTHER IS THINKING. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 276909: ACR X; A SHD6; INBOUND TO JFK FROM THE SW; WAS GIVEN VECTORS TO A VOR APCH RWY 13L. JFK WAS VOR/DME RWY 22L AND DEP RWY 22R WITH RWY 13R/31L CLOSED. MORE THAN 20 MI OUT; PORT OF NEW YORK CLOSED RWY 13L/31R. APCH CTL WAS ADVISED. ACR X WAS VECTORED N OF ARPT FOR R TFC RWY 22R. WHEN ACR X FLT WAS JUST N OF ARPT; THE ACFT TURNED SEBOUND AND OVERFLEW RWY 13R AT 1300 FT AND CALLED THE TWR MIDFIELD RWY 13R TO ENTER DOWNWIND FOR RWY 22R. AT THIS POINT I KNEW THERE WAS NO WAY THE SHD6 COULD ENTER A R DOWNWIND AND INSTRUCTED THEM TO ENTER A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 22R TFC ON A 5 MI FINAL FOR RWY 22L; A DC-9 (ACR Y); ADVISED TFC IN SIGHT; AND EXPECT TO PASS BEHIND THAT TFC. ACR X ACKNOWLEDGED. I ALSO ADVISED ACR Y OF SHD6 ON L DOWNWIND AND WOULD PASS BEHIND HIM. ACR X TURNED BASE IN FRONT OF ACR Y. ACR Y HAD TO BE PULLED OUT. AFTER LNDG ACR X ADVISED THAT APCH CTL NEVER ASSIGNED THEM A R DOWNWIND SO HE SET HIMSELF UP FOR A L DOWNWIND. APCH ADVISED THEY TOLD HIM AFTER RWY 13L WAS CLOSED; THE VECTORS WERE FOR R DOWNWIND RWY 22R.
