Narrative:

Tower said 'cleared to descend and you're following an experimental on final.' we were looking for the traffic to follow and getting closer to the point at which we would need to turn 120 degrees to be on final. At the point it would be necessary to turn, I reported traffic was still not in sight. The tower said 'square your base to final turn.' we both realized that we were slow (approximately reference +10) and crossing the extended centerline for our runway. We realized we were going to cross final for runway 30L and as we saw both airplanes, we crossed between them and requested a left 270 degree turn to final and were cleared for that. We cleared all traffic and were cleared to land. Crew were both very tired.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A FALCON 2000 FLC CROSS THE EXTENDED RWY CTRLINE AND PASSED BTWN 2 ACFT ON FINAL FOR THE PARALLEL RWY AT BFL.

Narrative: TWR SAID 'CLRED TO DSND AND YOU'RE FOLLOWING AN EXPERIMENTAL ON FINAL.' WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE TFC TO FOLLOW AND GETTING CLOSER TO THE POINT AT WHICH WE WOULD NEED TO TURN 120 DEGS TO BE ON FINAL. AT THE POINT IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO TURN, I RPTED TFC WAS STILL NOT IN SIGHT. THE TWR SAID 'SQUARE YOUR BASE TO FINAL TURN.' WE BOTH REALIZED THAT WE WERE SLOW (APPROX REF +10) AND XING THE EXTENDED CTRLINE FOR OUR RWY. WE REALIZED WE WERE GOING TO CROSS FINAL FOR RWY 30L AND AS WE SAW BOTH AIRPLANES, WE CROSSED BTWN THEM AND REQUESTED A L 270 DEG TURN TO FINAL AND WERE CLRED FOR THAT. WE CLRED ALL TFC AND WERE CLRED TO LAND. CREW WERE BOTH VERY TIRED.
