A C182 PLT TOOK A 10 MINUTE; VFR; TFC PATTERN FLT AT KEKY.

Narrative

ON 9/SUN/01 AT APPROX XA00 LOCAL; I ARRIVED AT EKY; WENT TO FBO FOR A SODA; OBSERVED A BEECH BARON DEPART RWY 23. PULLED AIRPLANE FROM HANGAR; TAXIED TO RWY 23 FOR DEP. CHECKED AWOS FOR REMARKS AND NOTAMS; NONE MENTIONED. CALLED TO TFC AND DEPARTED RWY 23. I REMAINED WITHIN A 3 MILE RADIUS OF AIRPORT. ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS WHILE REMAINING WITHIN TFC PATTERN. FLT TIME APPROX 10 MINUTES. WHEN I LANDED I WAS MET BY AIRPORT SECURITY AND TOLD ONLY IFR FLT PERMITTED AT ARPT. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS UNAWARE AND NO NOTAM WAS POSED ON ENTRY GATE OR ON FBO. NO ONE FROM FBO TOLD ME AS I TAXIED AND DEPARTED AND NO NOTAM WAS ON AWOS REMARKS. I OBSERVED PLANES FLYING AND THE NEWS STATED THAT GENERAL AVIATION ARPTS WERE NOW OPERATING. I OBSERVED NOTHING UNUSUAL BEFORE TAKEOFF OR DURING FLT. I MONITORED UNICOM (123.0) AND BIRMINGHAM APCH (123.8) WHILE IN FLT. NO UNUSUAL REMARKS. I SQUAWKED 1200 WHILE IN FLT. ARPT SECURITY WAVED AT ME AS I HEADED TO MY HANGAR AND TOLD ME THAT HE SHOULD ARREST ME UPON MY RETURN. THERE WAS CLEARLY A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE THE NOTAM TO ME THROUGH THE USUAL WAYS THAT WE RECEIVE THEM. I WOULD CLEARLY NOT HAVE ATTEMPTED FLT HAD I KNOWN.
