F100 FLC INITIATE EVASIVE MANEUVER AS DFW CTLR ADVISES FLC OF PARALLEL B737 TFC TO ANOTHER RWY DURING CLOSE TURN IN VISUAL APCH TO RWY 35C.

Narrative

WE WERE ARRIVING INTO DFW VIA THE BONHAM 3 STAR. AT STONZ INTXN; WE WERE GIVEN A HDG OF 180 DEGS AND THE STAR SPD OF 210 KTS. THIS PUT US ON A DOWNWIND FOR LNDG N AT DFW. WE WERE TOLD TO EXPECT RWY 35C AND THE AUTOPLT WAS ON. WE WERE GIVEN ANOTHER DSCNT AND TOLD TO EXPECT AN 8 MI FINAL; VISUAL APCH. A MIN OR 2 LATER; WE WERE GIVEN A HDG OF 270 DEGS AND DSCNT TO 4000 FT. THIS PUT US ON A BASE LEG TO FINAL. THE APCH FREQ WAS BUSY AS USUAL AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR ASSIGNED HDG AND SPD OF 210 KTS WHILE GETTING CLOSER TO THE EXTENDED CTRLINE. APCH TOLD US TO TURN TO A 290 DEG HDG AND ASKED IF WE SAW THE ARPT. WE TOLD THEM YES AND THEY CLRED US FOR THE VISUAL APCH TO RWY 35C. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. WE WERE JUST TO THE R OF THE LOC. I SELECTED 'LAND MODE' TO CAPTURE THE LOC AND I SELECTED A LOWER AIRSPD. WHEN THE AIRPLANE CAPTURED THE LOC; WE HAD FLOWN THROUGH IT AND WAS CORRECTING BACK WITH A R TURN. AT THIS TIME; I TURNED OFF THE AUTOPLT AND HAND FLEW IT BACK TO THE LOC. WHILE WE WERE CORRECTING BACK DUE TO OUR LATE CLRNC FOR THE APCH FROM THE CTLR; WE RECEIVED A TA ON TCASII OFF OUR L WING. THE CTLR TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A B737 ESTABLISHED ON FINAL FOR RWY 36L AND FOR US TO 'CORRECT' BACK TO THE LOC FOR RWY 35C. WE REPLIED THAT WE WERE CORRECTING AND WE PROCEEDED TO LAND WITH NO OTHER DIFFICULTIES. THIS WAS A RESULT OF THE CTLR GIVING US OUR CLRNC FOR A VISUAL APCH TOO CLOSE TO THE EXTENDED CTRLINE. THERE WAS ALSO A WIND FROM THE NE THAT WAS BLOWING US ACROSS THE LOC; AND OUR AIRSPD STILL AT THE ASSIGNED 210 KTS. THE CTLR DID NOT TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT. WITH THAT SAID; I COULD HAVE DONE SOME THINGS DIFFERENTLY ALSO. WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR A SLOWER AIRSPD; HOWEVER; THE FREQ WAS VERY BUSY. ALSO; I SHOULD HAVE TURNED OFF THE AUTOPLT EARLIER AND HAND FLOWN THE BASE LEG. WE WOULD HAVE STILL FLOWN THROUGH THE LOC; BUT WE MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE MADE IT BACK A LITTLE QUICKER. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A BUSY APCH CTL; A LATE CLRNC; AND FLYING THE AIRPLANE WITH ITS AUTOMATION INSTEAD OF GOING BACK TO BASICS AND HAND FLYING THE TIGHT APCH. AS I STATED EARLIER; WE LANDED WITH NO PROBS; THE B737 LANDED WITH NO PROBS; AND NOTHING ELSE WAS SAID. WE ONLY RECEIVED A TA ON TCASII; NEVER AN RA.
