Class G towers are temporary in nature. When we set up fire towers every
summer they are most often in class G.

Towers in a Class E surface area are temporary in nature. If the tower is
to be permanent the airspace will eventually become Class D.

Towers in Class G airspace may be temporary or permanent.


Is the difference the class G airports don't have a precision approach. If
I recall the old Control Zones were put in place at airports with precision
approaches.

I wouldn't worry about the rules as we controllers are really lax at
places like this. There are no tapes and the level of traffic is low.
The runway separation rules are just a guideline. We're not sending
someone around because we're a mere 500 feet short on the separation.
You're only going to know about class G towers by notam.



The runway separation rules are as applicable at towers in Class G
airspace as they are anywhere else.
