Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
Today Piper Warrior was on final for Runway XX and ATC Tower requested our aircraft to turn right 20 degrees off the final path. Other aircraft on a longer final were also directed to deviate to some degree. Few seconds after ATC instructed Aircraft X to turn left to 190. As my student turned left to 190 we saw a head on collision course with a Citation aircraft which had been given preference to land over us and we continued north bound to avoid the traffic and the wake turbulence. To me it felt like a very close call. Nothing more happened and after we were screamed at and were told to fly east bound and rejoin after few more vectors were given. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
