Narrative:

Day approach controller issued me the WX for sgh. Wind was 0409 VOR runway 6 in use he said as I got closer maybe we could use ILS runway 24. I got turned to a 150 degree heading with no reason for vector issued. I set up for VOR runway 6, then when I was northeast of the airport I was issued a right turn to join the localizer 2 mi from FAF cleared for approach ILS runway 24. I turned the plane while the other pilot set up the radios. I was high and in the clouds over the runway threshold and executed a missed approach. The procedure was to climb to 2800', then left turn to the sgh VOR and hold. At about 3 mi southwest of the VOR I called the tower and declared a missed approach. They turned me left 150 degree heading, contact day approach. He gave me vectors for another ILS which I completed. When on the ground I was told to call day approach. Approach supervisor then told me I was involved in a near midair with an fgt who had been cleared for the VOR runway 6 approach. When the radar controller observed a target over the threshold of runway 24 he cleared the fgt for approach head-on with me. The tower could not have have me in sight for them to say my landing was ensured. I should not have accepted the approach clearance. When a plane is cleared for approach he owns the missed approach (7110.65F 4-88). I found only 1 item in the ATC handbook pertaining to opp direction arrs 3-93 a&B (7110.65F). I was 2 mi from the FAF southbound then told to turn right heading 290 degrees. The final approach course is 240 degrees (7110.65F 5-120 a&B). The controllers did not adhere to 7110.65F 5-121a.

Title: SMA PLT ON ILS APCH IN IMC EXECUTES MISSED APCH. TOLD AFTER LNDG HAD NMAC WITH FGT CLEARED FOR OPPOSITE DIRECTION APCH.

Narrative: DAY APCH CTLR ISSUED ME THE WX FOR SGH. WIND WAS 0409 VOR RWY 6 IN USE HE SAID AS I GOT CLOSER MAYBE WE COULD USE ILS RWY 24. I GOT TURNED TO A 150 DEG HDG WITH NO REASON FOR VECTOR ISSUED. I SET UP FOR VOR RWY 6, THEN WHEN I WAS NE OF THE ARPT I WAS ISSUED A RIGHT TURN TO JOIN THE LOC 2 MI FROM FAF CLRED FOR APCH ILS RWY 24. I TURNED THE PLANE WHILE THE OTHER PLT SET UP THE RADIOS. I WAS HIGH AND IN THE CLOUDS OVER THE RWY THRESHOLD AND EXECUTED A MISSED APCH. THE PROC WAS TO CLB TO 2800', THEN LEFT TURN TO THE SGH VOR AND HOLD. AT ABOUT 3 MI SW OF THE VOR I CALLED THE TWR AND DECLARED A MISSED APCH. THEY TURNED ME LEFT 150 DEG HDG, CONTACT DAY APCH. HE GAVE ME VECTORS FOR ANOTHER ILS WHICH I COMPLETED. WHEN ON THE GND I WAS TOLD TO CALL DAY APCH. APCH SUPVR THEN TOLD ME I WAS INVOLVED IN A NEAR MIDAIR WITH AN FGT WHO HAD BEEN CLRED FOR THE VOR RWY 6 APCH. WHEN THE RADAR CTLR OBSERVED A TARGET OVER THE THRESHOLD OF RWY 24 HE CLRED THE FGT FOR APCH HEAD-ON WITH ME. THE TWR COULD NOT HAVE HAVE ME IN SIGHT FOR THEM TO SAY MY LNDG WAS ENSURED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THE APCH CLRNC. WHEN A PLANE IS CLRED FOR APCH HE OWNS THE MISSED APCH (7110.65F 4-88). I FOUND ONLY 1 ITEM IN THE ATC HANDBOOK PERTAINING TO OPP DIRECTION ARRS 3-93 A&B (7110.65F). I WAS 2 MI FROM THE FAF SBND THEN TOLD TO TURN RIGHT HDG 290 DEGS. THE FINAL APCH COURSE IS 240 DEGS (7110.65F 5-120 A&B). THE CTLRS DID NOT ADHERE TO 7110.65F 5-121A.
