Narrative:
An small transport on a visibility approach to eyw called eyw tower (first call) when over the eyw VOR. (VOR is well inside eyw air traffic area.) when I asked pilot when nqx switched him, he replied that they held onto him to point out VFR traffic (entering eyw air traffic area from the north). He said he never did see the VFR traffic and asked cqx to switch him. When I asked nqx when they switched small transport they said, and I quote, 'north of the extended centerline of runway 13 (at nqx).' in any event, this is another in a series of uncoordinated late turnovers.

Narrative: AN SMT ON A VIS APCH TO EYW CALLED EYW TWR (FIRST CALL) WHEN OVER THE EYW VOR. (VOR IS WELL INSIDE EYW ATA.) WHEN I ASKED PLT WHEN NQX SWITCHED HIM, HE REPLIED THAT THEY HELD ONTO HIM TO POINT OUT VFR TFC (ENTERING EYW ATA FROM THE N). HE SAID HE NEVER DID SEE THE VFR TFC AND ASKED CQX TO SWITCH HIM. WHEN I ASKED NQX WHEN THEY SWITCHED SMT THEY SAID, AND I QUOTE, 'N OF THE EXTENDED CENTERLINE OF RWY 13 (AT NQX).' IN ANY EVENT, THIS IS ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF UNCOORDINATED LATE TURNOVERS.
