PLT OF M20P SUFFERS ELECTRICAL FAILURE INBOUND TO OPF. ADVISES MIA APCH OF IMMINENT LOSS OF COM. MIA FAILS TO ADVISE OPF.

Narrative

WHILE DSNDING TO LAND AT OPF ARPT; THE ELECTRICAL SYS STARTED TO FAIL. I CALLED MIA APCH AND INFORMED THEM THAT I APPEARED TO BE HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBS. I TOLD THEM I WAS DSNDING TO 1000 FT TO REMAIN CLR OF THEIR AIRSPACE AND THAT I WAS LNDG AT OPF. MIA APCH CLRED ME AS REQUESTED. I THEN PROCEEDED FROM THE N ON ABOUT 170 DEG HDG TO OPF; DSNDING TO 1000 FT. AT THAT TIME I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL PWR. I CIRCLED OVER THE OPF FIELD AND TWR; ATTEMPTING TO GET THEIR ATTN; BUT IT WAS DARK AND MY LNDG LIGHT DID NOT WORK DUE TO LOSS OF PWR. I WENT AHEAD AND LANDED AND BY PHONE CONTACTED THE TWR; AND WE DISCUSSED THE ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS OK. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR ADVISED THAT; NOTWITHSTANDING HIS LAST COMS WITH MIA TRACON; THEY FAILED TO ALERT OPF OF HIS ARR. THE OPF LCL CTLR ADVISED THE RPTR THAT THE PROPER PROC WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR HIM TO CIRCLE THE TWR UNTIL EITHER HE RECEIVED A GREEN LIGHT AUTHORIZING HIS LNDG OR; UNBELIEVABLY; UNTIL HIS FUEL STATE WAS SUCH THAT HE HAD TO LAND. THE RPTR FOUND THIS SUGGESTION NOT CREDIBLE BUT DEIGNED TO ARGUE WITH THE CTLR FOR FEAR OF AGGRAVATING THE SIT. HE FURTHER STATED THE LCL CTLR ADVISED HIS XPONDER WAS; IN FACT; STILL XMITTING HIS CODE. RPTR WAS AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD BE SO; IF ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ON THE ACFT WERE INOP INCLUDING ALL LIGHTING. RPTR FELT HIS ACTIONS WERE CLRLY SUPPORTABLE BASED ON EMER AUTH AND SAFETY OF FLT.
