PLT OF AN SMA SEL GIVES WAY AND GOES AROUND FOR A CPR JET ON FINAL TO AN INTERSECTING RWY AT UNCTLED ARPT.

Narrative

OUR AIRPLANE; A CESSNA 172; WAS TURNING BASE TO FINAL AT LDJ. OVERHEAD; AT ABOUT 1500 FT; I SUDDENLY SAW A JET OUT MY R SIDE. I THOUGHT HE WAS ON VISUAL APCH TO EWR; TURNING BASE TO FINAL FOR RWY 4; BUT AT THAT TIME HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS DOWNWIND FOR RWY 27 LINDEN. THEY TURNED BASE; THEN FINAL AS WE MADE OUR CALL AND CONTINUED OUR DSCNT. AS THEY WERE STRAIGHTENING UP ON FINAL FOR RWY 27; I ASKED THEM IF THEY SAW THE CESSNA ON SHORT FINAL FOR RWY 32. THEY DID NOT REPLY. I MADE A L TURN TO PARALLEL RWY 27; AND ADDED PWR FOR THE GAR. I DID THIS BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT A SIT WHERE BOTH AIRPLANES WENT AROUND AT THE SAME TIME; COLLIDING ABOVE THE INTERSECTING RWYS. WHEN THE LEAR LANDED; I REENTERED THE STANDARD GAR TRACK; AND LANDED SUCCESSFULLY ON RWY 32. AFTER LNDG; I TAXIED UP TO THE LEAR; AND GAVE THE PLT A PIECE OF MY MIND. HE WAS; IN MY OPINION; GUILTY OF RECKLESS OP; AND HE VIOLATED MY RIGHT-OF-WAY AS THE LOWER AIRPLANE AND THE AIRPLANE CLOSEST TO THE RWY. THE LEAR PLT STATED THAT HE WAS HOPING THAT I WOULD GAR; AND HE THANKED ME FOR MY HELP. I TOLD HIM THAT WHAT I DID WAS NOT 'HELP;' IT WAS 'COLLISION AVOIDANCE.' HE COULD HAVE ASKED ME ON THE RADIO IF IT WAS SAFE TO GAR; BUT HE DID NOT. HE SAID THAT THE OTHER GUY WAS MAKING THE RADIO CALLS. HE ALSO BLAMED THE TIGHT AIRSPACE; BUT HE COULD HAVE TURNED S WITH NO PROB; WHICH HE ACKNOWLEDGED. I WOULD HAVE TURNED THE GUY IN TO THE FAA IF THEIR ENFORCEMENT BUREAUCRACY WERE NOT SO DYSFUNCTIONAL!
