FLC ATC REVIEW REVEALS LITTLE OF POTENTIAL PROBLEM EXISTING BTWN APCH CTLR AND FLC REGARDING THE PLT REQUEST DENIED ON AMENDED CLRNC.

Narrative

IN AN IFR FLT FROM HUL TO BLM WE ENCOUNTERED A SITUATION WITH A CTLR. WE WERE CLRED MANTA V276 ROBBINSVILLE. WE REQUESTED DIRECT ALLAIRE AT 3000 FT SO WE COULD TAKE A VISUAL APCH. THE CTLR CLRED US TO 3000 FT BUT SAID COULDN'T GIVE DIRECT BECAUSE OF AN ACFT ON AN APCH TO ALLAIRE. WE STATED THAT ALT WOULDN'T INTERFERE WITH THE ACFT'S APCH OR MISSED APCH AND ONCE WE HAD FIELD IN SIGHT WE WOULD CANCEL IFR. THE CTLR THEN SAID IT WAS KENNEDY'S AIRSPACE AND THEY COULD NOT AUTHORIZE THAT. WE REQUESTED THEM TO CHK WITH KENNEDY. THEY DID AND SAID KENNEDY DIDN'T APPROVE. WE CONTINUED AS FILED AND ASKED FOR A PHONE NUMBER TO SUPVR. HE SAID THAT WE WERE INTERFERING WITH THE CTLRS WORKLOAD BY ARGUING AND CONFUSING THE CTLR. AT THE TIME WE ONLY HEARD ONE OTHER ACFT ON THE FREQ. IF REQUESTING A CLRNC AND THEN CLARIFYING IT WITH THE CTLR CREATES A PROBLEM SOMETHING IS WRONG. A CTLR SHOULD NOT GET FLUSTERED WHEN QUESTIONED AND IF OVERLOADED SHOULD KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. IF NOT THEY NEED MORE TRAINING. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 191731. NEXT TIME WE GET A SEMI-WEAK CTLR WE WILL NEED TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
