A BEECH 400A; WHILE IMC INSIDE THE FAF DSNDING ON THE LDA RWY 19R AT CCR; IS ASKED FOR A DELAYING TURN FOR OTHER TFC; WHICH WAS REFUSED BY THE FLC ON FREQ WITH TRAVIS APCH.

Narrative

AFTER HAVING BEEN CLRED FOR AN LDA/DME TO RWY 19R AT CCR; WE BEGAN A DSCNT FOR MDA. ABOUT THE TIME WE LEVELED; TRAVIS APCH CALLED AND TOLD US TO MAKE A TURN. AS PF; I POINTED OUT TO THE CAPT; WHO WAS WORKING THE RADIOS; THAT WE WERE IN AN AREA OF TERRAIN AND THAT A TURN OFF THE APCH WAS NOT WISE; AND ALSO THAT WE WERE APCHING THE MINIMUM LEGAL FUEL FOR LNDG (WE DID LAND WITH LEGAL RESERVES). HE ADVISED APCH 'UNABLE' AND TOLD THEM OF OUR FUEL SIT. APCH THEN CANCELED OUR APCH CLRNC AND TOLD US TO CLB. WE COMPLIED AND BEGAN A CLB AND AFTER 300-400 FT THEY AGAIN CLRED US FOR THE APCH AND TOLD US TO SWITCH TO TWR. WE SWITCHED TO TWR; AND; UPON REACHING MDA AND VISUAL CONDITIONS; RPTED THE ARPT IN SIGHT. WE WERE CLRED FOR A VISUAL AND LNDG TO RWY 32R; WHICH WAS ACCOMPLISHED UNEVENTFULLY. ON THE TAXI IN; WE WERE ASKED TO CALL THE TWR. THE CAPT MADE THE CALL; AND WAS ASSURED BY THE CTLR THAT THERE WAS NO PROB; THAT THEY WANTED TO CLARIFY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE TWR HAD A POP-UP KING AIR SVFR THEY WERE WORKING AND HAD ASKED TRAVIS TO SPIN US SO THEY COULD GET HIM ON THE GND. THE CTLR ADVISED US TO LET ATC KNOW EARLIER IF POSSIBLE OF MINIMUM FUEL SITS. POOR COMS WAS THE FACTOR HERE. COMS BTWN THE TWR AND APCH APPARENTLY WERE NOT CLR. AND OUR COM WITH APCH REGARDING OUR MINIMUM FUEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVEYED IN MORE SUCCINCT AND PROPERLY PHRASED TERMINOLOGY.
