Default Security at a class D tower

The third one would be to shut off the landing lights, ILS, beacon, etc.
I realize you can't "adjust" the ILS to tell a plane that the runway is
ten feet lower than it is (like in the movies), but you _might_ be able
to shut it off entirely. Again, in day VFR, or if the incoming planes
are far off, this wouldn't do much. At night or in bad weather, it
might be a little more interesting.


They could turn lights off, but not an ILS.


Hey Steven,,,On April 27 you contradicted yourself... Can the local
tower really shut down the ILS themselves? Inquiring minds and all...
