WHILE FLYING FIM DIRECT COOGA IN VMC CONDITIONS ON AN IFR FLT CLRNC; PLT OF TBM850 IS CLRED FOR A VOR RWY 26 APCH TO CMA. WHEN INITIATING THE PROC TURN; RPTR IS ADVISED BY APCH CTLR THAT A PROC TURN WAS NEITHER REQUIRED NOR AUTHORIZED.

Narrative

I WAS ON AN IFR FLT PLAN IN VMC CONDITIONS SPEAKING WITH POINT MUGU APCH. MY CLRNC WAS TO FLY FROM FIM VOR DIRECT TO COOGA INTXN; DSND AND MAINTAIN 4000 FT. THE ATIS SPECIFIED THAT THE VOR RWY 26 APCH WAS IN USE. AT 0.4 DME FROM COOGA; THE POINT MUGU APCH CTLR CLRED ME FOR THE VOR RWY 26 APCH AND REQUESTED THAT I CONTACT THE TWR. ACCORDING TO THE CAMARILLO VOR RWY 26 APCH CHART; COOGA IS THE IAF. COOGA REQUIRES A PROC TURN. THERE IS NO MENTION ON THE CHART OF NO PROC TURN FROM FIM TO COOGA! AS REQUESTED; I TUNED THE TWR FREQ AS I TURNED L TO AN OUTBOUND COURSE OF 067 DEGS TO START MY PROC TURN FOR THE VOR RWY 26 APCH. WITHIN 5 - 10 SECONDS THE TWR REQUESTED THAT I RE-CONTACT POINT MUGU APCH. I DID AS REQUESTED AND WAS PROMPTLY REBUKED FOR DOING A PROC TURN. THE CTLR STATED THAT I HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO FLY THE PROC TURN AND GAVE ME A HDG TO INTERCEPT THE FINAL APCH COURSE BACK ON THE VOR RWY 26 APCH. SHOCKED; I TURNED TO THE HDG; INTERCEPTED THE FINAL INBOUND COURSE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE TWR. I LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS NOT INITIALLY GIVEN RADAR VECTORS TO INTERCEPT THE FINAL APCH COURSE INBOUND. NOR; WAS I ASKED NOT TO DO THE PROC TURN BY THE CTLR. MY CLRNC UPON REACHING COOGA WAS; 'CLRED VOR RWY 26 APCH; CONTACT TWR 128.2.' THERE IS NO MENTION OF NOPT! I FEEL THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO A CTLR WHO WANTED ONE THING BUT INSTEAD CLRED ME TO DO ANOTHER. I RECENTLY SPOKE WITH ANOTHER PLT ON MY FIELD WHO HAD THIS SAME EXACT SCENARIO YEARS AGO WHILE FLYING A GULFSTREAM II. AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE WAS NO CONFLICT WITH TFC IN MY CASE. HOWEVER; SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WITH HOW CLRNCES ARE ISSUED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE.
