Narrative:

WX was decent VFR, however a distant thunderstorm had located itself in the distance to the northwest. The sun shining from behind the storm produced a poor visibility situation on the final approach course to runway 11R. It was dark and hazy with brighter sides to the north and southwest. Aircraft #2 was on left base about to turn final when aircraft #1, who was inbound on the VOR runway 11R approach passed directly in front of aircraft #2. Aircraft #1 had failed to report the FAF inbound as instructed and the poor visibility conditions severely hampered the ability to visually find the aircraft #1 until he had already flown by aircraft #2. The presence of a BRITE display (radar) would have solved or better yet prevented this situation from occurring.

Title: ACFT #1 FAILED TO RPT THE FAF AS REQUESTED AND CONFLICTED WITH ACFT #2 ON A BASE LEG. RPTR ALLEGES RPTR WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ACFT #1 VISUALLY UNTIL IT PASSED ACFT #2 DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY,

Narrative: WX WAS DECENT VFR, HOWEVER A DISTANT TSTM HAD LOCATED ITSELF IN THE DISTANCE TO THE NW. THE SUN SHINING FROM BEHIND THE STORM PRODUCED A POOR VISIBILITY SIT ON THE FINAL APCH COURSE TO RWY 11R. IT WAS DARK AND HAZY WITH BRIGHTER SIDES TO THE N AND SW. ACFT #2 WAS ON L BASE ABOUT TO TURN FINAL WHEN ACFT #1, WHO WAS INBOUND ON THE VOR RWY 11R APCH PASSED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ACFT #2. ACFT #1 HAD FAILED TO RPT THE FAF INBOUND AS INSTRUCTED AND THE POOR VISIBILITY CONDITIONS SEVERELY HAMPERED THE ABILITY TO VISUALLY FIND THE ACFT #1 UNTIL HE HAD ALREADY FLOWN BY ACFT #2. THE PRESENCE OF A BRITE DISPLAY (RADAR) WOULD HAVE SOLVED OR BETTER YET PREVENTED THIS SIT FROM OCCURRING.
