ACR WDB COMPLAINT ABOUT CLOSE PROX WITH ACR MLG BOTH ON VISUAL APCH TO SFO.

Narrative

WHILE ON FINAL APCH TO SFO RWY 28R WAS PASSED ON THE LEFT AT APPROX 1000' AGL BY A ACR Y MLG APPROX 600' OFF OF OUR LEFT WING AT THE SAME ALT DSNDING. WE WERE AT APCH SPD (140 KTS) AND HE PASSED US AS THOUGH WE WERE STANDING STILL; STARTLING US AND SCARING THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF OUR PAX. AFTER LNDG I CALLED SFO TWR TO PROTEST AND THEY DENIED ANY FAULT ON THEIR PART (ALTHOUGH MY S/O CLAIMS TO HAVE HEARD THEM INSTRUCT ACR Y TO PASS SOMEONE). ACCORDING TO THE TWR; ALL ACFT ARE ASSUMED TO ACCEPT THE SIDE BY SIDE APCH WITH 700' LAT SEP; IF YOU DON'T INFORM 'BAY APCH' IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT IT. BOTH ACFT ARE ASSUMED TO HAVE THE OTHER IN SIGHT. IN OUR CASE; ACR Y WAS TURNED IN BEHIND US (WE WERE ON A QUIET BRIDGE APCH AND HE WAS ON A TIP TOE APCH). ONCE HE WAS BEHIND US; WE NO LONGER HAD HIM IN SIGHT. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THAT HE WAS GOING TO PASS US. HAD I BEEN SO INFORMED I WOULD HAVE DISCONTINUED THE APCH; RATHER THAN HAVE MY PAX PANICKED BY THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF ANOTHER AIRPLANE RACING TO GET IN FRONT OF US IN THE DARK. (DAY OR NIGHT; I DON'T WANT ANYONE THAT CLOSE TO ME.) AFTER TALKING TO THE TWR AND BAY APCH; IT BECOMES EVIDENT THAT BAY APCH ERRED IN TURNING THE MLG IN BEHIND US (BECAUSE OF WAKE TURB FROM OUR HEAVY JET; HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TURNED IN; IN FRONT OF US). THE TWR COMPOUNDED THE ERROR BY INSTRUCTING HIM TO PASS US. I UNDERSTAND THEIR PROBS IN HANDLING HUGE #S OF ACFT INTO AND OUT OF SUCH A POORLY DESIGNED ARPT; BUT I AM UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF MY ACFT AND PAX BY FLYING CLOSE FORMATION WITH ANOTHER ACFT; ESPECIALLY NOT ON FINAL APCH. I CAN ACCEPT AN APCH BEHIND HIM WHERE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REASONABLE SEP IS SHIFTED TO ME; OR AN APCH IN FRONT OF HIM WHERE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REASONABLE SEP IS SHIFTED TO THE OTHER ACFT; BUT TO BE SET UP TO FLY MINIMUM APCH SPD WHILE ANOTHER ACFT COMES WITHIN 700' OF ME IS AN INVITATION TO DISASTER. ANY DISTR; IN EITHER COCKPIT; COULD TRIGGER A MID AIR COLLISION.
