A PLT ON AN LGB RWY 30 ILS EXECUTED A GAR BECAUSE HE WAS TOO FAST TO LAND AFTER COMPLYING WITH ATC'S SPD REQUESTS. CTLR SAID NO GAR'S ALLOWED ON RWY 30.

Narrative

ON SEP/MON/06; ABOUT XA30 PM I WAS EXECUTING A PRACTICE ILS APCH TO LONG BEACH ARPT IN LONG BEACH; CA. THE APCH CTLR VECTORED MY ACFT THROUGH THE LOC TO ALLOW AN ACR FLT TO LAND. THE APCH CTLR THEN VECTORED MY ACFT BACK TO INTERCEPT THE LOC AND ASKED IF I COULD INCREASE THE SPD OF MY ACFT BECAUSE HE HAD ANOTHER ACR FLT RIGHT BEHIND ME. I AGREED TO INCREASE SPD BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO BE VECTORED AWAY FROM THE ARPT AGAIN. IN RETROSPECT I SHOULD NOT HAVE INCREASED SPD BECAUSE MY ACFT IS A VERY AERODYNAMICALLY CLEAN ACFT WITH LOW GEAR AND FLAP DEPLOYMENT SPDS. I ELECTED TO EXECUTE A GAR WHEN I WAS ON SHORT FINAL BECAUSE I WAS STILL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPD. WHEN I TOLD THE TWR CTLR I WAS GOING AROUND; CTLR WAS FIRM THAT I LAND. I RESPONDED THAT I WAS STILL FAST AND I DID NOT WISH TO ATTEMPT A LNDG. CTLR REITERATED THAT I SHOULD LAND AND THE RWY WAS 10000 FT LONG. I STATED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO LAND AND I WAS GOING TO MAINTAIN RWY HDG TO COMPTON ARPT A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY. I WAS THEN ASKED TO CALL THE TWR WHEN I LANDED. THE TWR CTLR I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT GAR'S WERE NOT ALLOWED ON RWY 30 DUE TO THE ARPT'S OTHER TFC PATTERNS. I DO NOT RECALL THE CTLR CALLING TFC OTHER THAN THE TFC ON DOWNWIND TO RWY 25L (IF AT ALL). I AM NOT AN INEXPERIENCED PLT AND MY DECISION TO GO AROUND BASED UPON MAINTAINING THE SAFETY OF MY FLT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: PLT STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THE LGB LCL CTLR'S CONCERNS; BUT WAS UNSURE WHERE THAT POLICY WAS POSTED. HE THOUGHT IT WAS A LOCALLY UNDERSTOOD POLICY. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE HE FELT UNSAFE ATTEMPTING TO GET THE ACFT ON THE GND AND SO ELECTED TO GO AROUND.
