ACR PLT MAKING ILS APCH TO APN WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FINAL MONITOR CTLR INSTRUCTED HIM TO CONTACT TWR WHILE HE WAS IN HIS FLARE ABOUT TO TOUCH DOWN.

Narrative

ON ILS APCH; ILS 1 APN INTO ALPENA; WE WERE SWITCHED FROM APCH TO FINAL MONITOR AND WERE CLRED TO LAND BY FINAL MONITOR. IN THE FLARE TO LNDG OVER THE RWY; FINAL MONITOR CALLED US AND TOLD US TO SWITCH TO TWR. WE ALREADY HAD OUR LNDG CLRNC; THEREFORE WE IGNORED THE CALL; CONCENTRATED ON THE LNDG; AND TAXIED OFF OF RWY 1 ONTO TXWY D. BEFORE SWITCHING TO TWR; WE ADVISED FINAL MONITOR THAT IT WAS A VERY BAD TIME TO TALK TO PLTS WHEN IN THE FLARE TO LNDG; NO RESPONSE. EXITED RWY AND CONTACTED TWR AS INSTRUCTED. UPON CALLING TWR; WE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM TWR TELLING US THAT WE WERE LUCKY THAT TXWY D WAS OPEN. OUR RESPONSE WAS THAT WE RECEIVED NO NOTAMS ON THE CURRENT ATIS OR IN OUR COMPANY PAPERWORK. TWR RESPONDED THAT WE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE THE RWY UNTIL INSTRUCTED BY THE TWR. WE VERY COURTEOUSLY AND PROFESSIONALLY QUESTIONED THE CTLR SAYING WE WERE SUPPOSED TO EXIT THE RWY PAST THE HOLD LINE AND THEN CONTACT TWR OR GND IF INSTRUCTED BY TWR. TWR THEN SAID THAT SOP'S AS DICTATED BY FAR'S WERE FOR AN ACFT TO REMAIN ON THE RWY UNTIL INSTRUCTED BY TWR. WE THEN WERE TURNED OVER TO GND AND TAXIED TO GATE. UPON ANOTHER ARR INTO ALPENA LATER THAT DAY; WE AGAIN WERE TURNED OVER TO TWR WHEN IN THE FLARE TO LNDG OVER THE RWY AGAIN. THE AIM ADDRESSES EXITING THE RWY AFTER LNDG. THE ONLY THING A PLT MAY EXPECT UPON HEARING A CTLR UPON LNDG IS MOST LIKELY TO GAR. THIS COULD CAUSE CONFUSION IN THE COCKPIT AT A CRITICAL POINT. NONETHELESS; BEING EXPECTED TO OPERATE WITH NONSTANDARD PROCS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR SAID HE WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE TWR AND APCH CTL AT ALPENA IS STAFFED WITH AIR NATL GUARD PERSONNEL. HE ALSO SAID HE IS STILL NOT COMFORTABLE RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE FINAL MONITOR TO SWITCH TO TWR WHILE IN HIS LNDG FLARE.
