Last resort heading

On a windy day from the NW.
Late afternoon rush as the sun is setting to the West.
Single runway ops on 32: light GA mixed with commercial.
A DV20 coming back to land.
TWR is trying to squeeze him between arrivals and departures.

1st try: tower gives him his sequence to turn base, he turns too late, comes close to airliner, twr takes him out of there.

2nd try: twr uses headings to point him in the opening, DV20 succeeds at messing the plan and misses another airliner.

There is still a line up of departures and arrivals.

TWR: GABC do you see the sun?
ABC: uh... yes tower
TWR: fly towards it I'll call you back

Guess what?
It worked!


In the same line:

To an aircraft that does not follow any instructions and uses bad RT

TWR: ABC do you have enough fuel to leave my zone?
