Narrative:
On an instrument flight plan was handed off from peoria, il, approach to bmi tower, and told report misie inbound to bmi tower. We were cleared to land upon reporting misie. I heard the controller (bmi tower) clear an small aircraft X to land and an small aircraft Y to depart. I had a visibility on the departing traffic, but no visibility on the small aircraft X. My student was centered on the ILS and was tracking it well so I could scan for traffic. About 1700' MSL the small aircraft X appeared at 2 O'clock and approximately 1/8 of a mi. The small aircraft X appeared to have seen us and was rushing to get in front of us. The small aircraft X then turned in front of us and configured for a landing at which time I called a go around and took the aircraft from the student. It seems to me that the small aircraft pilot was in a hurry to get in front of our aircraft which was slowed up in an IFR approach confign (stabilized at 90 KTS). The small aircraft X pilot's performance indicated a lack of planning or safety.

Title: CLOSE PROX GA-SMA ON PRACTICE ILS APCH AND GA-SMA ENTERING TRAFFIC PATTERN.
Narrative: ON AN INSTRUMENT FLT PLAN WAS HANDED OFF FROM PEORIA, IL, APCH TO BMI TWR, AND TOLD RPT MISIE INBND TO BMI TWR. WE WERE CLRED TO LAND UPON RPTING MISIE. I HEARD THE CTLR (BMI TWR) CLR AN SMA X TO LAND AND AN SMA Y TO DEPART. I HAD A VIS ON THE DEPARTING TFC, BUT NO VIS ON THE SMA X. MY STUDENT WAS CENTERED ON THE ILS AND WAS TRACKING IT WELL SO I COULD SCAN FOR TFC. ABOUT 1700' MSL THE SMA X APPEARED AT 2 O'CLOCK AND APPROX 1/8 OF A MI. THE SMA X APPEARED TO HAVE SEEN US AND WAS RUSHING TO GET IN FRONT OF US. THE SMA X THEN TURNED IN FRONT OF US AND CONFIGURED FOR A LNDG AT WHICH TIME I CALLED A GO AROUND AND TOOK THE ACFT FROM THE STUDENT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SMA PLT WAS IN A HURRY TO GET IN FRONT OF OUR ACFT WHICH WAS SLOWED UP IN AN IFR APCH CONFIGN (STABILIZED AT 90 KTS). THE SMA X PLT'S PERFORMANCE INDICATED A LACK OF PLANNING OR SAFETY.
