Amen. I have encountered more disturbing situations at towered fields
than I have at uncontrolled fields.


No doubt because towered fields tend to have more traffic than
uncontrolled fields.



When I say towered, they
invariably are Class D. It's not always the controllers fault as they
are dependent upon accurate position data from the pilots.


Some pilots are hoorribly inaccurate with position reports. Austin
approach provides IFR services to Georgetown, they're about 29 miles
away. If a tower was established at Georgetown it would probably be
equipped with a BRITE scope and feed from the Austin radar. That
would ease the position report problem.
