Unless I'm missing some USA specifics (if so, please correct me):
Class D airspace is not an FAA concept but rather an ICAO definition. It seems to me that you should sit down and re-read the airspace definitions. Class D: *No* separation provided for VFR flights. Right -- there is no separation provided in Class D. And no one should expect the controller to maintain separation. This is precisely my point, which may be summed up thusly: Class D is "pretend" controlled airspace. It should be regarded as "Barely controlled" or "Semi-controlled"... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
