Narrative:

I was flying VFR to bkl from the east. I called bkl tower at about 15 NM and was cleared to land on runway 24L, straight in. It was quite hazy and in order to find the field, I tuned in and tracked the runway 24R localizer, planning to sidestep to runway 24L when the field became visible. At about 5 mi out, before I saw the field, a jet was cleared to land runway 24R. When asked, I reported my position 'on the localizer.' I was reprimanded by the tower, saying I was cleared to runway 24L, which I knew. The jet asked to do a right 360 degree turn till I got out of the way and was approved, but just then I saw the field at about 3 mi and did my side-step. The jet passed me about 300 ft to my right. I thought it was unsafe to clear 2 planes, a fast one following a slow one to 2 very close together runways in very marginal visibility. Until I saw the field at 3 mi, the only way I had to align myself with the runways for my cleared straight-in landing was to use the localizer. I had no way to align myself with runway 24L before picking up the field visually. Either the jet or I should have been given a base leg entry or some type of delay until the approach was clear. Clearing 2 planes at the same time was not safe.

Title: SINGLE PLT OF C206 CONFLICTS WITH ACR ACFT WHILE ON PARALLEL APCH PATH TO BKL.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING VFR TO BKL FROM THE E. I CALLED BKL TWR AT ABOUT 15 NM AND WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 24L, STRAIGHT IN. IT WAS QUITE HAZY AND IN ORDER TO FIND THE FIELD, I TUNED IN AND TRACKED THE RWY 24R LOC, PLANNING TO SIDESTEP TO RWY 24L WHEN THE FIELD BECAME VISIBLE. AT ABOUT 5 MI OUT, BEFORE I SAW THE FIELD, A JET WAS CLRED TO LAND RWY 24R. WHEN ASKED, I RPTED MY POS 'ON THE LOC.' I WAS REPRIMANDED BY THE TWR, SAYING I WAS CLRED TO RWY 24L, WHICH I KNEW. THE JET ASKED TO DO A R 360 DEG TURN TILL I GOT OUT OF THE WAY AND WAS APPROVED, BUT JUST THEN I SAW THE FIELD AT ABOUT 3 MI AND DID MY SIDE-STEP. THE JET PASSED ME ABOUT 300 FT TO MY R. I THOUGHT IT WAS UNSAFE TO CLR 2 PLANES, A FAST ONE FOLLOWING A SLOW ONE TO 2 VERY CLOSE TOGETHER RWYS IN VERY MARGINAL VISIBILITY. UNTIL I SAW THE FIELD AT 3 MI, THE ONLY WAY I HAD TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH THE RWYS FOR MY CLRED STRAIGHT-IN LNDG WAS TO USE THE LOC. I HAD NO WAY TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH RWY 24L BEFORE PICKING UP THE FIELD VISUALLY. EITHER THE JET OR I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BASE LEG ENTRY OR SOME TYPE OF DELAY UNTIL THE APCH WAS CLR. CLRING 2 PLANES AT THE SAME TIME WAS NOT SAFE.
