Narrative:

I was cleared to land on runway 9 at swf. An air carrier came overhead and descended in front of me for landing. I saw him, I don't think he saw me. When the tower realized the situation, I was instructed to break right, the jet was already in front of me. I did, however, break right to avoid wake turbulence. There was no evasive action necessary. I called the tower after landing for an explanation. They said there was a lack of communication between my approach and stewart tower. They said they were sorry!
