CCCPSpy:
This year old clip is from what I guess is a student pilot landing. The controller at KLWM didn't seem too happy with him.

Jason:
The controller said "No Problem." If they were upset I assure you they wouldn't say that.  LWM is a contract tower also...from personal experience I find that ATC from contract towers can be both great as well as not the best or clearest to understand either.

davolijj:
This scenario happens at VFR towers more than people know.  :?

BTW, Federal contract towers and Non-Federal towers use the same procedures and phraseology as their counterparts in the FAA.

I fly into LWM frequently and can't say I've found the controllers hard to understand or deficient in their controlling.  Same at KORH.  Both contract towers...doesn't make a difference really.  It all boils down to individual controllers, not whether they're contract or FAA.

Did you really mean can't say? I think they are either terrible or great. They can sometimes be fickle depending on controller. I have been told a lot of them come from the Navy.
