Narrative:

Going through austin arsa - direct via LORAN. Requested flight following: looked at airport and noticed I was near ILS for active (I had shot approach about 1 hour earlier, so I knew it was in use). Told passenger to look out at 3 O'clock because I couldn't believe they would let me go through at that altitude. About same time, approach told me I was in line and to do an immediate turn to 360 degree. I was in glide path with plane about 1 mi. He said he heard me tell him I was going over airport VOR. I never said that, and didn't hear him tell me nor repeat back.almost all the time I file IFR and do not usually file VFR. Airport was busy and the second I noticed I was going to go near ILS approach, I should have questioned his/my action. A few mins time savings could have led to bad circumstances. Any directions should make clear directions of flight and caution in arsa, especially in marginal VFR.

Title: SMA FLEW THROUGH THE AUS ILS AT GS ALT.

Narrative: GOING THROUGH AUSTIN ARSA - DIRECT VIA LORAN. REQUESTED FLT FOLLOWING: LOOKED AT ARPT AND NOTICED I WAS NEAR ILS FOR ACTIVE (I HAD SHOT APCH ABOUT 1 HR EARLIER, SO I KNEW IT WAS IN USE). TOLD PAX TO LOOK OUT AT 3 O'CLOCK BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD LET ME GO THROUGH AT THAT ALT. ABOUT SAME TIME, APCH TOLD ME I WAS IN LINE AND TO DO AN IMMEDIATE TURN TO 360 DEG. I WAS IN GLIDE PATH WITH PLANE ABOUT 1 MI. HE SAID HE HEARD ME TELL HIM I WAS GOING OVER ARPT VOR. I NEVER SAID THAT, AND DIDN'T HEAR HIM TELL ME NOR REPEAT BACK.ALMOST ALL THE TIME I FILE IFR AND DO NOT USUALLY FILE VFR. ARPT WAS BUSY AND THE SECOND I NOTICED I WAS GOING TO GO NEAR ILS APCH, I SHOULD HAVE QUESTIONED HIS/MY ACTION. A FEW MINS TIME SAVINGS COULD HAVE LED TO BAD CIRCUMSTANCES. ANY DIRECTIONS SHOULD MAKE CLR DIRECTIONS OF FLT AND CAUTION IN ARSA, ESPECIALLY IN MARGINAL VFR.
