Re: ATC at airports in Class G

englishal, I can see why you would think that, but in an ATZ

1. all traffic is known (radio contact or PPR by telephone)
2. all traffic is turning in the same direction
3. all traffic has to conform to the circuit pattern (including published circuit height)
4. all traffic has to conform to any other restrictions published in the AIP (yes, I know they probably haven't read it...)

Surely all these are worthwhile additions to safety?
