Santa Fe, NM. Although towered, SAF does not have radar. Rather, it's covered by Albuquerque Center, which clears you for the approach and then hands you off to the tower. -- Dane I don't know if that counts. How many class D airports do have radar? 40% maybe? Most work as you describe. Approach is still watching over you. -Robert

One cannot be vectored for the approach there as RADAR doesn't go so low. So one must follow the full approach non-RADAR. Flying a full approach is something we can request anywhere, but the places around here where it's necessary are - in my small experience - few. Any others around here? - Andrew
