Narrative

ON THE SECOND TRIP TO FAI FROM A CAMP S OF ARPT; I REQUESTED THAT I BE ALLOWED TO LAND ON CLOSED GRAVEL SKI STRIP (WAS FLYING SUPERCUB WITH A HVY LOAD OF CARGO ON 30 INCH TUNDRA TIRES WITH A WIND RPTED AS 8-10 KTS AT 060- 090 DEGS). I HAD; ON THE PREVIOUS TRIP INTO TOWN APPROX 2 HRS EARLIER; BEEN GRANTED PERMISSION TO LAND ON THAT STRIP (SKI STRIP 010 DEGS). AFTER BEING HANDED OVER TO TWR FROM APCH (STAGE II RADAR) AND HAVING APCH RELAY MY REQUEST TO TWR TO LAND AT/ON SKI 010 DEGS AT MY OWN RISK (NOTAMED CLOSED WITH MEN AND EQUIP WORKING); I WAS INFORMED BY TWR THAT THE RWY WAS CLOSED AND HAD EQUIP WORKING ON IT. I ASKED TO USE THE PORTION OF THE STRIP THAT THE EQUIP WAS NOT ON AND STATED THAT I ONLY NEEDED A COUPLE HUNDRED FT TO LAND. (THEY WERE WETTING AND GRADING THE DIRT/GRAVEL SURFACE AND ALSO ROLLING SO 3 PIECES OF EQUIP WORKING). I WAS TOLD BY THE TWR THAT THE EQUIP WAS ON BOTH ENDS AND WAS WORKING TOWARDS THE MIDDLE. I STATED I WOULD LOOK THE SIT OVER WHEN I GOT CLOSER ON FINAL AND WOULD LAND IF THE EQUIP WAS IN THE MIDDLE (STRIP IS 3980 FT X 75 FT. MY NORMAL LNDG DISTANCE AT FULL GROSS WT IS 300 FT). I WAS THEN INFORMED BY TWR TO CONTACT FSDO AFTER LNDG. THE TWR HAD REQUESTED THE EQUIP TO EXIT THE RWY WITHOUT TELLING ME AND WHEN I WAS ON 1 MI FINAL; I STATED THAT I DIDN'T SEE ANY EQUIP ON THE RWY AND LANDED. IN THE PAST; TWR AND FIELD MAINT HAD ACCOMMODATED US OVERSIZED TUNDRA-TIRED ACFT OR SKI EQUIPPED AND USUALLY MOVED WHEN REQUESTED; ALLOWING US TO LAND ON THE ONLY PLACE AVAILABLE. WHY THE TWR REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME ON THIS DAY IS UNKNOWN. FIELD MAINT STATED THEY WOULD; IN THE FUTURE; ALLOW US TO CALL IN 10 MINS AHEAD OF LNDG AND THEY WOULD MOVE AND RPT CONDITIONS.
