Narrative:
Air carrier X on vectors to final for ILS approach to runway 9 and cleared approach. On about an 8 mi final at 2000 ft, a foreign air carrier Y appeared at our 10 O'clock position, slightly high. He proceeded to turn final about 1 1/2 mi in front of us. We were talking to approach and the controller never advised us of the traffic. We proceeded to do a left 360 degree, cancel instruments, switch to tower, and complete an uneventful landing to runway 9. Supplemental information from acn 299441: first we were given a descent from 5000 ft to 2000 ft at the mares intersection as we approached on a southerly heading. We were given to turn to a southwest heading. I believe about 230 degrees to intercept the localizer to runway 9L at ccs. Since it was not a valid heading from which an intercept could have been made I corrected the controller and suggested a heading of 150 degrees which she agreed would work. At some point later she made a garbled transmission about the presence of another airplane, a 767. We at once queried her where it was because we did not have it on TCASII. She told us to continue and we were now #2. Then I saw the 767 turning into our path on a tight base above us and about 1 1/2 mi I ahead of us.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR X HAD LTSS FROM FOREIGN B767. SYS ERROR.
Narrative: ACR X ON VECTORS TO FINAL FOR ILS APCH TO RWY 9 AND CLRED APCH. ON ABOUT AN 8 MI FINAL AT 2000 FT, A FOREIGN ACR Y APPEARED AT OUR 10 O'CLOCK POS, SLIGHTLY HIGH. HE PROCEEDED TO TURN FINAL ABOUT 1 1/2 MI IN FRONT OF US. WE WERE TALKING TO APCH AND THE CTLR NEVER ADVISED US OF THE TFC. WE PROCEEDED TO DO A L 360 DEG, CANCEL INSTS, SWITCH TO TWR, AND COMPLETE AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG TO RWY 9. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 299441: FIRST WE WERE GIVEN A DSCNT FROM 5000 FT TO 2000 FT AT THE MARES INTXN AS WE APCHED ON A SOUTHERLY HDG. WE WERE GIVEN TO TURN TO A SW HDG. I BELIEVE ABOUT 230 DEGS TO INTERCEPT THE LOC TO RWY 9L AT CCS. SINCE IT WAS NOT A VALID HDG FROM WHICH AN INTERCEPT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE I CORRECTED THE CTLR AND SUGGESTED A HDG OF 150 DEGS WHICH SHE AGREED WOULD WORK. AT SOME POINT LATER SHE MADE A GARBLED XMISSION ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER AIRPLANE, A 767. WE AT ONCE QUERIED HER WHERE IT WAS BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE IT ON TCASII. SHE TOLD US TO CONTINUE AND WE WERE NOW #2. THEN I SAW THE 767 TURNING INTO OUR PATH ON A TIGHT BASE ABOVE US AND ABOUT 1 1/2 MI I AHEAD OF US.
