BE58 PLT IS UNHAPPY WITH ATC HANDLING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE AN ILS APCH INTO 40N; A PHL SATELLITE ARPT. THE ILS HAD AN OTS NOTAM; BUT THE PLT WAS TOLD BY THE FBO THAT THE ILS WAS WORKING.

Narrative

ON PREFLT AND SUBSEQUENT WX AND NOTAM CHKS; I NOTED THAT THE ILS WAS NOTAMED OUT AT DEST ARPT AND PLANNED A VISUAL IF POSSIBLE AND MORE LIKELY A DIVERSION TO AN ALTERNATE ARPT. ABOUT 30-40 MI FROM DEST; DOUBLECHKED WITH THE FBO FACILITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NOTAM ON THE ILS OUTAGE; AND WAS INFORMED THE NOTAM WAS 'NOT IN EFFECT' AND THE ILS WAS FINE AND USABLE UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY WHEN MAINT (FAA) WAS TO WORK ON THE EQUIP. I RECEIVED A GOOD SIGNAL WITH NORMAL IDENTS AND ADVISED PHL APCH AT THIS TIME ABOUT 30 MI OUT. AS USUAL; PHL WAS QUITE BUSY AND REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH US. I RECEIVED CLRNC; BUT WAS TOLD THE APCH WAS AT MY OWN RISK. I TRIED VERY HARD TO REMAIN POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL IN OUR CONVERSATIONS; BUT FEEL THAT OUR FLT WAS AN ANNOYANCE TO ATC AS THEY WERE VERY BUSY AND FORGOT ME AT LEAST TWICE ON THE APCH. AS A RESULT; I WAS TURNED LATE TO INTERCEPT AND GIVEN A LOWER ALT LATE AS WELL. THE ILS 'WORKED OUT;' BUT I WASN'T PLEASED FEELING LIKE A SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN. IN NEARLY 30 YRS OF COMMERCIAL FLYING; I'VE OFTEN NOTICED A PROB WITH ATC'S HANDLING AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS SATELLITE ARPTS OF A NEARBY BUSY HUB FACILITY. IN THE ILS AT 40N; I FEEL THERE'S A COM PROB BTWN THE FBO AND PHL APCH. EITHER THE EQUIP IS NOTAMED ON OR OFF -- THERE SHOULDN'T BE THIS GRAY AREA AND ATTITUDE OF 'YOU'RE CLRED; BUT IT'S AT YOUR OWN RISK!'
