I am a TWR controller with APP(not APS) licence. Thus I provide procedural approach and twr control. I should of specified in the beginning, we're not that important to have an actual APP.

Same thing I said to blissbak. The a/c performs a STAR. I do APP and TWR from 0 to 6500 ft.
I know after the release the a/c is in my control, but what happens when the a/c is released before, like 10NM from COP or above the CTR, like 8000-9000 ft?

If I could get it fixed I would. There are no procedures regarding this. The ACC states in the coordination they are releasing it at COP and descending to coordinated FL.
I was thinking that in order to bypass this, I could just say "proceed as cleared by radar/previous sector, report at COP/FL". This way I am not issuing any commands to the a/c, or I think I am not, since I didn't clear it for anything.
Thanks for the replies guys. I know aviation is different around the world, but I hope safety stuff is general and I could cover my behind if the management won't.
Regards.
