A C210 pilot was sequenced #2 behind a cpr jet to bwi runway 33R and cleared to land. The C210 pilot, approximately 1 mi final, heard the controller clear a commuter aircraft to land on the same runway. At approximately one half mi out and 250 ft above the runway, the C210 pilot observed the commuter aircraft preparing to touch down on runway 33R. The pilot took evasive action, executed a go around, stayed in the traffic pattern and landed without further incident.

Narrative:
After being cleared into class B airspace at bwi airport and given several vectors, I was told to follow a falcon that was cleared to land at bwi, runway 33R. Bwi tower also advised me to follow the jet and that I was cleared to land on runway 33R. The falcon was at 2000 ft while I was at 3000 ft. I followed the falcon slightly off to the right side. As I neared runway 33R, I heard the controller on the tower frequency clear another plane (that someone said was 'about 10 out') to land on runway 33R. When I was about 1/2 mi out and approximately 250-300 ft, I was suddenly aware of a commuter type plane preparing to touch down on runway 33R. As I started to go around, I asked the tower if I had been cleared to land on runway 33R and was told 'affirmative.' I advised the controller there was landing traffic on the runway. There was some type of brief explanation. I was told to go around and stay in the pattern. I advised I was doing so. I circled, stayed in the pattern and frequently advised tower of my position. I was cleared to land and did so.

Title: A C210 PLT WAS SEQUENCED #2 BEHIND A CPR JET TO BWI RWY 33R AND CLRED TO LAND. THE C210 PLT, APPROX 1 MI FINAL, HEARD THE CTLR CLR A COMMUTER ACFT TO LAND ON THE SAME RWY. AT APPROX ONE HALF MI OUT AND 250 FT ABOVE THE RWY, THE C210 PLT OBSERVED THE COMMUTER ACFT PREPARING TO TOUCH DOWN ON RWY 33R. THE PLT TOOK EVASIVE ACTION, EXECUTED A GAR, STAYED IN THE TFC PATTERN AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
Narrative: AFTER BEING CLRED INTO CLASS B AIRSPACE AT BWI ARPT AND GIVEN SEVERAL VECTORS, I WAS TOLD TO FOLLOW A FALCON THAT WAS CLRED TO LAND AT BWI, RWY 33R. BWI TWR ALSO ADVISED ME TO FOLLOW THE JET AND THAT I WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 33R. THE FALCON WAS AT 2000 FT WHILE I WAS AT 3000 FT. I FOLLOWED THE FALCON SLIGHTLY OFF TO THE R SIDE. AS I NEARED RWY 33R, I HEARD THE CTLR ON THE TWR FREQ CLR ANOTHER PLANE (THAT SOMEONE SAID WAS 'ABOUT 10 OUT') TO LAND ON RWY 33R. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MI OUT AND APPROX 250-300 FT, I WAS SUDDENLY AWARE OF A COMMUTER TYPE PLANE PREPARING TO TOUCH DOWN ON RWY 33R. AS I STARTED TO GO AROUND, I ASKED THE TWR IF I HAD BEEN CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 33R AND WAS TOLD 'AFFIRMATIVE.' I ADVISED THE CTLR THERE WAS LNDG TFC ON THE RWY. THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF BRIEF EXPLANATION. I WAS TOLD TO GO AROUND AND STAY IN THE PATTERN. I ADVISED I WAS DOING SO. I CIRCLED, STAYED IN THE PATTERN AND FREQUENTLY ADVISED TWR OF MY POS. I WAS CLRED TO LAND AND DID SO.
