.. yes most procedural towers have a traffic display (TSAD) tis used for positional confirmation and provision of class D services. Tower/approach is not only visual though ... trouble maker Bloggsie to the principles office

.. why would you want separate radar approach when it can be done from the tower more efficiently .. there is some work underway to improve the uses of Tower display systems .... question is, (in a visual sense particularly), is it less or more of a distraction for tower controllers to be searching for a target with bino's or a glance at the screen ... if we can use one and not the other why??? ... and yes I know the rules regarding screens in towers ... it is a study that needs to be done A.S.A.P

... damage done ... I'll get me coat
