Sorry ... what's a VFR Tower?


A tower where IFR services are provided by the overlying TRACON or Center.



So what are these IFR services? When I'm flying an IAP to my local Class D
airport, I get handed-off to the tower controller, who stays with me through
the rest of the approach, clearing me to land (if I get that far), separating
me from VFR traffic using radar, etc.. Are these not IFR services?

Thanks for any clarification ... I'm just fuzzy on the distinction ;-)
