COMPLIANCE WITH ATC INSTRUCTIONS.

Narrative

ON OCT/XX/94 A STEMME S-10 SELF LAUNCHING GLIDER CALLED FOR TAXI. PREVIOUSLY THE PLT OF THE GLIDER CUT OUT A PWRED ACFT WITH A STUDENT ON A SOLO FLT WHILE THE PWRED ACFT WAS ON SHORT FINAL. REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH AN ATC INSTRUCTION TO REMAIN OUTSIDE OUR CLASS D AIRSPACE; AND DECLARED AN EMER TO AFFORD PRIORITY SEQUENCING AND TREATMENT FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE PLT DID NOT WANT TO RESTART HIS ENG BEFORE LNDG AT OUR ARPT. DUE TO THE PRECEDING REASONS; I ASKED THE PLT IF HE WOULD COMPLY WITH ATC INSTRUCTIONS TO RESTART HIS ENG BEFORE ENTERING OUR CLASS D AIRSPACE IF REQUESTED BY THE CTLR. THE PLT RESPONDED THAT HE WOULD NOT AND HE WOULD REENTER THE AIRSPACE AS A GLIDER. I THEN REFUSED TO ISSUE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMED THE PLT THAT I COULD NOT APPROVE UNRESTR GLIDER OPS AT THAT TIME. THE PLT TAXIED THE ACFT BACK TO PARKING AND CALLED THE TWR. WHEN THE PLT CALLED HE EXPLAINED THAT THE STEMME S-10 WAS A SELF LAUNCHING GLIDER AND HE WAS ENTITLED TO DEPART AS A MOTORIZED ACFT AND RETURN AS A GLIDER. I INFORMED HIM THAT I HAD ASKED HIM ON AT LEAST 2 OTHER OCCASIONS TO RESTART HIS ENG BEFORE ENTERING OUR AIRSPACE AND HE COMPLIED. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD NEVER RESTARTED HIS ENG PRIOR TO ENTERING OUR AIRSPACE AND WAS NOT GOING TO DO IT. I THEN SAID THAT THIS WOULD BE SETTLED BY FSDO BUT; UNTIL I WAS TOLD OTHERWISE; I WOULD NOT ALLOW UNRESTR GLIDER OPS AT THE ARPT WHILE I WAS CTLR IN CHARGE.
