FLC OF A LR25 CIRCLED TO LAND ON THE WRONG RWY AFTER COMPLETING A VOR APCH RESULTING IN THE TWR REQUESTING A GAR DUE TO TWO FALCON JETS BEING TOWED ON THE RWY THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO LAND ON.

Narrative

WE WERE BRINGING PAX INTO ELIZABETH CITY; NC; IN A LR25. CONDITIONS REQUIRED A VOR/DME APCH. WINDS FAVORED RWY 19 WHICH WAS TOO SHORT FOR OUR ACFT BUT THE WINDS WERE NOT THAT STRONG. ZDC PROVIDED US WITH WX AND WE REQUESTED VOR/DME 10 CIRCLE RWY 28 AND THEY APPROVED IT. UPON CONTACTING TWR I RPTED INBOUND VOR/DME 10 CIRCLE RWY 28. HE ASKED US TO RPT RIDS MM AND WE DID. THE COCKPIT WAS LOUD AND TWR XMISSIONS WERE DIFFICULT TO HEAR BUT I BELIEVED THEY WERE UNDERSTANDABLE. WE CALLED ARPT IN SIGHT AT THE SAME TIME WE RPTED RIDS MM. I UNDERSTOOD TWR RPTING US CLR TO CIRCLE AND LAND. HE LATER PLAYED HIS TAPE TO MY CAPT WHO SAID THE RPT WAS CIRCLE RWY 19. I READ BACK CLR TO LAND RWY 28 AND WAS NOT CHALLENGED. THE CAPT BANKED TOO HARD THROUGHOUT THE CIRCLE FOR ME TO SEE THE RWY. ON VERY SHORT FINAL WE SAW TWO FALCONS BEING TOWED DOWN THE RWY. WE TOUCHED DOWN BRIEFLY AND WENT AROUND. THE CAPT AND TWR DISCUSSED THE MISUNDERSTANDING AND TWR RPTED THAT THE FALCONS WERE CLRING THE RWY AND THAT WE WERE CLR TO LAND RWY 28. UPON TURNING SHORT FINAL AGAIN A FALCON WAS STILL ON THE RWY AND WE WENT AROUND AGAIN. WE LANDED ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT RWY 28. WASHINGTON SHOULDN'T HAVE CLRED US TO CIRCLE RWY 28. THE TWR SHOULD HAVE ADVISED US OF THE STATUS OF RWY 28 AND LISTENED BETTER. THE CAPT SHOULD HAVE MADE A WIDER AND MORE STABILIZED APCH ALLOWING BETTER VISIBILITY AND SIT AWARENESS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED MYSELF TO BE DISTR IN ANY WAY THAT MAY HAVE LED TO MISUNDERSTANDING TWR'S CALL. WASHINGTON; TWR; MY CAPT AND I NEEDED MORE ASSERTIVE COM.
