Narrative

ON APCH TO RWY 27R TO MIA ARPT MY FLT WAS VECTORED 110 DEGS OR 120 DEGS. ATC THEN GAVE US A VECTOR TO TURN L TO 270 DEGS. I TOOK TO BE A MISTAKE BY THE CTLR AND WAITED A FEW XMISSIONS TO GET BACK TO HIM AND CLARIFY. WHEN WE DID CLARIFY HE THEN SAID TURN L AGAIN TO 240 DEGS NOW. I THEN QUESTIONED THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A R TURN BECAUSE WE WERE NE OF THE ARPT. HE THEN REPLIED THAT I WAS RIGHT TO TURN R TO 240 DEGS. GOING THROUGH 180 DEGS WE NOTICED A B767 ON THE APCH AT OUR 10 O'CLOCK POS. THE CTLR THEN TOLD US TO TURN IMMEDIATELY TO 090 DEGS. THEN RESCINDED THAT CLRNC AND TOLD US TO FLY S. HE DID POINT OUT TFC TO BOTH OF US AND BOTH HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. WE FLEW UNDER THE B767 ON A 180 DEG HDG THEN GIVEN A 270 DEG TURN L TO REJOIN THE FINAL APCH. HE THEN ADMITTED THAT HE HAD MADE A MISTAKE AND SINCE WE HAD VISUAL WITH EACH OTHER NOTHING ELSE NEED BE DONE AND I AGREE. I BELIEVE THAT THE CTLR INITIALLY WANTED US TO TURN TO 090 DEGS AND WAS CONFUSED WITH THE DIRECTION WHEN HE ISSUED L TO 270 DEGS. IN HINDSIGHT; THIS WOULD HAVE SOLVED THE PROB.
