Narrative:

Low altitude and surface winds gusty and strong. Reported at luk as 15 KTS, gusts to about 30 KTS, direction variable 250- 310 degrees, 10 KT airspeed loss below 300 ft AGL on final approach runway 24 reported within 1/2 hour by mdt propeller and light transport jet aircraft. I was cleared to land my small aircraft on runway 24 and was over threshold, planning to land long (deep) on runway and taxi straight ahead to hangar to minimize exposure to gusty surface winds. Tower (local) controller then told me to land and make immediate left or right turn because there was an small transport on final. I heard the small transport call on a 5 mi final after I had received landing clearance and was over the runway threshold. I advised tower I didn't want to turn off runway because of gusty winds. I was experiencing difficulty in establishing sufficient crosswind correction, wind from right. A right turn after landing would have been safe, but subsequent taxiing (cross- and downwind in strong gusts) would not be safe. Tower told me to 'go around' so small transport could land. I complied and noticed midfield windsock was standing stiffly out in line with taxiway C. This hard surface taxiway was a runway (15/33) originally and is smooth and well maintained. There was no conflicting taxiing traffic and I requested a landing at my own risk and discretion north on taxiway C. The tower twice advised 'unable' and asked in a confrontational, threatening manner, 'are you declaring an emergency?' and 'do you want the equipment?' I replied I would declare an emergency if that's what was necessary to land my small aircraft into the wind and no, I didn't need any equipment. Tower told me to call as soon as I could after landing.

Title: SMA NON COMPLIANCE WITH ATC INSTRUCTIONS DUE TO WIND. DECLARED EMER, LANDED ON TXWY.

Narrative: LOW ALT AND SURFACE WINDS GUSTY AND STRONG. RPTED AT LUK AS 15 KTS, GUSTS TO ABOUT 30 KTS, DIRECTION VARIABLE 250- 310 DEGS, 10 KT AIRSPD LOSS BELOW 300 FT AGL ON FINAL APCH RWY 24 RPTED WITHIN 1/2 HR BY MDT PROP AND LTT JET ACFT. I WAS CLRED TO LAND MY SMA ON RWY 24 AND WAS OVER THRESHOLD, PLANNING TO LAND LONG (DEEP) ON RWY AND TAXI STRAIGHT AHEAD TO HANGAR TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO GUSTY SURFACE WINDS. TWR (LCL) CTLR THEN TOLD ME TO LAND AND MAKE IMMEDIATE L OR R TURN BECAUSE THERE WAS AN SMT ON FINAL. I HEARD THE SMT CALL ON A 5 MI FINAL AFTER I HAD RECEIVED LNDG CLRNC AND WAS OVER THE RWY THRESHOLD. I ADVISED TWR I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN OFF RWY BECAUSE OF GUSTY WINDS. I WAS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY IN ESTABLISHING SUFFICIENT XWIND CORRECTION, WIND FROM R. A R TURN AFTER LNDG WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE, BUT SUBSEQUENT TAXIING (CROSS- AND DOWNWIND IN STRONG GUSTS) WOULD NOT BE SAFE. TWR TOLD ME TO 'GAR' SO SMT COULD LAND. I COMPLIED AND NOTICED MIDFIELD WINDSOCK WAS STANDING STIFFLY OUT IN LINE WITH TXWY C. THIS HARD SURFACE TXWY WAS A RWY (15/33) ORIGINALLY AND IS SMOOTH AND WELL MAINTAINED. THERE WAS NO CONFLICTING TAXIING TFC AND I REQUESTED A LNDG AT MY OWN RISK AND DISCRETION N ON TXWY C. THE TWR TWICE ADVISED 'UNABLE' AND ASKED IN A CONFRONTATIONAL, THREATENING MANNER, 'ARE YOU DECLARING AN EMER?' AND 'DO YOU WANT THE EQUIP?' I REPLIED I WOULD DECLARE AN EMER IF THAT'S WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO LAND MY SMA INTO THE WIND AND NO, I DIDN'T NEED ANY EQUIP. TWR TOLD ME TO CALL AS SOON AS I COULD AFTER LNDG.
