The tower at a class D airport does not provide much in the way of traffic
separation.

None, except on the runway.

They schedule takeoffs and landings and that is about it.

Really?


They
don't have to tell you when to turn crosswind to downwind,

But they can and often do to keep the flow of traffic running smooth.


or what heading a
departing aircraft is to take.

You don't get headings but you may be told not to turn before you cross the
farmhouse over yonder.
