Security at a class D tower
In article .net,
"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote: Admittedly, this was not a class D but a class B. Why, if so, would that make a difference? Who would you expect would have control of the approach, the tower or approach control? KBED tower can turn off the ILS (and switch it between 11/29). -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!)

Security at a class D tower
On Apr 9, 6:00 am, "Steven P. McNicoll"
wrote: wrote in message The third one would be to shut off the landing lights, ILS, beacon, etc. I realize you can't "adjust" the ILS to tell a plane that the runway is ten feet lower than it is (like in the movies), but you _might_ be able to shut it off entirely. Again, in day VFR, or if the incoming planes are far off, this wouldn't do much. At night or in bad weather, it might be a little more interesting. They could turn lights off, but not an ILS. Hey Steven,,,On April 27 you contradicted yourself... Can the local tower really shut down the ILS themselves? Inquiring minds and all... Ben

Ok Here goes,,, On April 8, Matt Roberds suggested someone who took over a tower could shut off the ILS at that field. On April 9 @ 6.00 AM google groups time on post #43 your answer was "They could turn off the lights but not the ILS " Now lets fast forward a couple of weeks to April 27.. @ 6.52 google groups time your answer to Bob Noels statement, " KBED tower can turn off the ILS (and switch it between 11/29).. your answer was. "only at the direction of Boston approach" This implies that the tower can REALLY shut off the ILS. Simple question. Can they or not ????????????? Ben

Well, of course, everybody knows that Govt employees' and members of
Congress' lives are far more precious than those of the rest of us. After all, the entire federal Govt came close to closing down a while back when a C152 strayed into the Washington ADIZ. The 9/11 terrorists must really being enjoying this from wherever they are.
