The tower at a class D airport does not provide much in the way of traffic
separation. They schedule takeoffs and landings and that is about it.
Which is why, IMHO, Class D airspace is the single most dangerous airspace
around.
The designation of "Class D" provides the veneer of controlled airspace
without any real substance, and lulls the unwary into a false sense of
security.
