Narrative:
I was instructing a CFI candidate from the left seat. We were in left closed traffic for runway 9 at riverside. The tower called our landing sequence, we located the traffic and were cleared to land. The approach was high, as we were doing a short field landing over an obstacle. On base, I heard IFR traffic call inbound and he was told to follow us. He was on the ILS to 9 on a 3/4 mi final. The tower called and asked if we had þthat aircraft' in front of us in sight. I could see no aircraft, but the student spotted an small aircraft just below us, his estimate of distance was 10 ft. We applied power and climbed clear and went around. The traffic was the ILS traffic. The tower was doing a terrible job sequencing traffic. We were extended on downwind over 4 mi several times.

Title: 2 SMAS NEARLY COLLIDED ON FINAL APCH FOR A LNDG. 1 ACFT WAS ON AN IFR CLRNC, THE RPTING ACFT WAS VFR.
Narrative: I WAS INSTRUCTING A CFI CANDIDATE FROM THE L SEAT. WE WERE IN L CLOSED TFC FOR RWY 9 AT RIVERSIDE. THE TWR CALLED OUR LNDG SEQUENCE, WE LOCATED THE TFC AND WERE CLRED TO LAND. THE APCH WAS HIGH, AS WE WERE DOING A SHORT FIELD LNDG OVER AN OBSTACLE. ON BASE, I HEARD IFR TFC CALL INBOUND AND HE WAS TOLD TO FOLLOW US. HE WAS ON THE ILS TO 9 ON A 3/4 MI FINAL. THE TWR CALLED AND ASKED IF WE HAD þTHAT ACFT' IN FRONT OF US IN SIGHT. I COULD SEE NO ACFT, BUT THE STUDENT SPOTTED AN SMA JUST BELOW US, HIS ESTIMATE OF DISTANCE WAS 10 FT. WE APPLIED PWR AND CLBED CLR AND WENT AROUND. THE TFC WAS THE ILS TFC. THE TWR WAS DOING A TERRIBLE JOB SEQUENCING TFC. WE WERE EXTENDED ON DOWNWIND OVER 4 MI SEVERAL TIMES.
