Narrative:

I had initiated NOTAMS through the rancho murieta FSS stating the airport was prior permission required. When the representative of the FAA issued a temporary operating certificate for the civilian county-owned airport converted from an AFB, it put a restr that all lndgs had to be approved by the airport manager so safety items could be briefed. On the date of the incident, a pilot and passenger landed in a cessna. The pilot would not identify himself but admitted he had not read or asked for NOTAMS. The passenger claimed they had been cleared for a VOR approach and landing, but the pilot stated sac approach control had cleared them only for the approach. The passenger was very irate when I said I would call the sheriff in order to find out the identify of the pilot. I did allow them to depart after briefing the safety hazards present on the newly-converted airport. When I contacted the local FSDO, I learned that up to 90% of civilian pleasure flying pilots do not request NOTAMS from FSS. Having retired from the military as a pilot, and from airlines, it is inconceivable why any pilot would not take a few extra mins to learn of anything contained in NOTAMS. Even when I flew in an aeronautical club, I always checked the NOTAMS for departure, destination, and diversion airports.

Title: AN ARPT MGR RPT ON A C172 LNDG WITHOUT RECEIVING PRIOR PERMISSION FOR LNDG ENTRY FROM ARPT MGR AT MCC, CA.

Narrative: I HAD INITIATED NOTAMS THROUGH THE RANCHO MURIETA FSS STATING THE ARPT WAS PRIOR PERMISSION REQUIRED. WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FAA ISSUED A TEMPORARY OPERATING CERTIFICATE FOR THE CIVILIAN COUNTY-OWNED ARPT CONVERTED FROM AN AFB, IT PUT A RESTR THAT ALL LNDGS HAD TO BE APPROVED BY THE ARPT MGR SO SAFETY ITEMS COULD BE BRIEFED. ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, A PLT AND PAX LANDED IN A CESSNA. THE PLT WOULD NOT IDENT HIMSELF BUT ADMITTED HE HAD NOT READ OR ASKED FOR NOTAMS. THE PAX CLAIMED THEY HAD BEEN CLRED FOR A VOR APCH AND LNDG, BUT THE PLT STATED SAC APCH CTL HAD CLRED THEM ONLY FOR THE APCH. THE PAX WAS VERY IRATE WHEN I SAID I WOULD CALL THE SHERIFF IN ORDER TO FIND OUT THE IDENT OF THE PLT. I DID ALLOW THEM TO DEPART AFTER BRIEFING THE SAFETY HAZARDS PRESENT ON THE NEWLY-CONVERTED ARPT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE LCL FSDO, I LEARNED THAT UP TO 90% OF CIVILIAN PLEASURE FLYING PLTS DO NOT REQUEST NOTAMS FROM FSS. HAVING RETIRED FROM THE MIL AS A PLT, AND FROM AIRLINES, IT IS INCONCEIVABLE WHY ANY PLT WOULD NOT TAKE A FEW EXTRA MINS TO LEARN OF ANYTHING CONTAINED IN NOTAMS. EVEN WHEN I FLEW IN AN AERO CLUB, I ALWAYS CHKED THE NOTAMS FOR DEP, DEST, AND DIVERSION ARPTS.
