SMA ACFT ON VECTORS FROM ZJX TO ILS RWY 7 AT BQK WAS QUESTIONED BY ATC BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO EXECUTE PROC TURN.

Narrative

I WAS INBOUND TO THE BRUNSWICK GOLDEN ISLES ARPT (BQK) FROM THE S; FLYING SINGLE PLT. I WAS WORKING WITH ZJX ON 126.75; HE WAS BUSY. THERE WAS AN AREA OF MODERATE WX (PAINTING YELLOW ON NEXRAD) JUST S OF THE LOC FOR RWY 7 AT BQK. I HAD DESIRED TO GO AROUND THE WX TO THE W AND JOIN THE LOC COURSE FROM THE N; IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID THE WX. UNFORTUNATELY; I COULD NOT GET A WORD IN TO THE CTLR WITH THE AMOUNT OF OTHER TFC HE WAS WORKING. I HAD BEEN CLRED DIRECT THE ARPT AT ABOUT 18 MI S. AT ABOUT 9 MI S THE CTLR BEGAN TO GIVE ME VECTORS AND ASKED ME IF I'D LIKE TO GO DIRECT TO BERTT INTXN TO AVOID THE WX; HIS SUGGESTION WOULD HAVE FLOWN ME THE LONGEST/WORST POSSIBLE WAY THROUGH THE WX; SO I DECLINED. HE CONTINUED TO GIVE ME HDGS TO FLY; THE LAST APPEARED TO ME THAT IT WAS TO JOIN THE LOC; AND IT CAME WITH AN ALT ASSIGNMENT OF '1700 FT UNTIL YOKHO CLRED THE ILS 7.' THE HDG WAS SOMETHING LIKE 030 DEGS (A 40 DEG INTERCEPT I THOUGHT). THIS WAS 7 MI AWAY FROM THE ARPT. LESS THAN 30 SECONDS LATER; I JOINED THE LOC VERY CLOSE TO YOKHO AND WELL ABOVE THE GS. I HAD ANTICIPATED A BAD TURN ONTO THE LOC AND HAD PREVIOUSLY PUT THE FLAPS AND GEAR DOWN; WHICH ALLOWED ME TO REJOIN THE GS BELOW. AFTER JOINING THE GS; ON THE LOCALIZER NOW INSIDE OF YOKHO; THE CTLR BEGAN TO QUESTION WHAT I WAS DOING; ASKING ME IF I WAS NOT GONG TO DO THE PROC TURN; INFORMING ME THAT HE HAD EXPECTED ME TO DO A PROC TURN AND THAT HE HAD A PHONE NUMBER FOR ME TO CALL; I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS ESTABLISHED AND THE APCH WAS GOING TO WORK OUT; I WAS STILL IMC. THE CTLR AGAIN CALLED ME TO TELL ME HE HAD A PHONE NUMBER FOR ME TO CALL RIGHT AWAY; I WAS NO HIGHER THAN 700 FT ABOVE THE FIELD AT THIS POINT AND STILL IMC. THE CTLR AGAIN CONTINUED TO BADGER ME ABOUT GETTING THE PHONE NUMBER. I INFORMED HIM HE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I WAS ON THE GND. AT THIS POINT HE ALLOWED ME TO SWITCH TO CTAF. AFTER LNDG I GOT THE PHONE NUMBER AND HAD A BRIEF CONVERSATION WITH HIS SUPVR WHO HAD VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN GETTING ME TO SAY I DEVIATED FROM A CLRNC. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS/HUMAN PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS: WX. 1) I ASSUME THE WX INCREASED THE CTLR'S WORKLOAD. 2) I HAD A DESIRE TO LIMIT MY EXPOSURE TO THE WX AND THOUGHT THE LAST HDG GIVEN WAS THE CTLR'S WAY IN HELPING ME DO THIS. I DIDN'T CONSIDER THE FACT THAT HE WANTED ME TO REVERSE COURSE ON THE LOC AND FLY BACK THROUGH THE WX FOR A PROC TURN. FATIGUE. 1) I WAS NEAR THE END OF A 4-DAY TRIP TO NEW PLACES AND HAD POOR SLEEP THE PREVIOUS EVENINGS. I ALSO SHOWED UP TO THE ARPT TO FIND TROUBLE WITH THE ACFT. 2) I NORMALLY DON'T ASSUME THINGS BUT; WITH THE LAST HDG AND THE CLRNC TO DSND TO 1700 FT UNTIL XING YOKHO CLRED THE ILS 7; I HAD ASSUMED I WAS CLRED THE APCH FROM RADAR VECTORS. HAD I BEEN BETTER RESTED I MAY NOT HAVE MADE THIS ASSUMPTION WITHOUT ASKING THE CTLR. AMBIGUITY. I TOLD THE CTLR UPON CHKING IN WITH HIM THAT I WANTED THE ILS 7. I WAS ADVISED TO EXPECT IT. I WAS NOT TOLD 'HOW' TO EXPECT IT. AGAIN; ALL THE VECTORS MADE ME ASSUME IT WOULD BE VECTORED. HAD ANY MENTION OF A PROC TURN SUCH AS 'RPT PROC TURN INBOUND;' OR 'CLRED DIRECT BERTT' OR 'CLRED DIRECT YOKHO' BEEN MENTIONED; IT WOULD HAVE CLRED THINGS UP FOR ME. BY THE TIME THE LAST CLRNC OF 'DSND TO 1700 FT UNTIL XING YOKHO; CLRED THE ILS 7' HAD BEEN GIVEN; I WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE LOC COURSE AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME YOKHO WAS MENTIONED. I JOINED THE LOC COURSE WELL UNDER 30 SECONDS AFTER THIS CLRNC; I HAD THE INSTRUMENT SET UP FOR A RADAR VECTORED STRAIGHT-IN APCH. UNFAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. SINGLE PLT IFR. HAD ANOTHER CREW MEMBER BEEN WITH ME; WE MAY HAVE THOUGHT TO QUESTION THE CTLR. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: 1) IN RETROSPECT; I SHOULD HAVE REFUSED THE APCH WHEN I THOUGHT THE CTLR HAD JUST 'SHOEHORNED' ME ON TO IT AT YOKHO. 2) IT WAS UNWISE OF ME TO ENTERTAIN THE CTLR'S BADGERING TO COPY A PHONE NUMBER WHILE I CLEANED UP A TERRIBLE ENTRY TO AN ILS IN IMC WHILE SINGLE PLT. 3) I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS SITUATION BY TELLING THE CTLR WHERE AND HOW I WANTED TO JOIN THE APCH. LESS ASSUMPTIONS BY BOTH PARTIES.
