In that case the temporary tower could have issued circle to land instructions.
I wonder if temporary towers have recorders? Those could provide a wealth of information independent of the airplane's recorders.
There are TWO NOTAMS regarding Class D airspace at CYRB. The first one only established a Control Zone. The second NOTAM established a Military Terminal Control Area with Tower, Ground, Terminal Control, etc.
You can have a Class D Control Zone without a tower. I believe the Temporary Tower was only fully operational during the period of the second NOTAM which began Aug 22.
While the Temporary Tower Facilities may have been in place at the time of the accident, I bet they were only giving advisories. This would possibly explain how the Borek flight was able to do an approach while First Air was still un-accounted for.
