Narrative:

I had been cleared for 28L. As I turned from base to final, a new controller said I had been cleared for the 28R. I discovered the commuter plane flying directly overhead. The pilot was telling tower I was landing on his runway 28L and was directly under him whereby the controller informed me to land on 28R. As I started to land on 28R, an small aircraft was still on the runway, therefore, I made a go around and eventually landed on 28R.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN SMA PVT PLT HAD AN NMAC WITH AN LTT IN THE ARPT TFC PATTERN. BOTH ACFT MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME RWY.

Narrative: I HAD BEEN CLRED FOR 28L. AS I TURNED FROM BASE TO FINAL, A NEW CTLR SAID I HAD BEEN CLRED FOR THE 28R. I DISCOVERED THE COMMUTER PLANE FLYING DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. THE PLT WAS TELLING TWR I WAS LNDG ON HIS RWY 28L AND WAS DIRECTLY UNDER HIM WHEREBY THE CTLR INFORMED ME TO LAND ON 28R. AS I STARTED TO LAND ON 28R, AN SMA WAS STILL ON THE RWY, THEREFORE, I MADE A GAR AND EVENTUALLY LANDED ON 28R.
