Narrative:

Commuter landing runway 35. Directed to land behind us. Spacing marginal so aircraft did small s-turn. Spacing remained marginal. Tower frequency congested; I landed long kept speed up to make sure he passed behind me. I couldn't go around because he should have. There has to be a separation (lack thereof) where tower sends 1 aircraft around.
