KFNL is Class E but has a tower which is unusual. How is this any different from a Class D towered field?
91.127(c): Communications with control towers. Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft to, from, through, or on an airport having an operational control tower unless two-way radio communications are maintained between that aircraft and the control tower. Communications must be established prior to 4 nautical miles from the airport, up to and including 2,500 feet AGL.
So operationally it would look to behave exactly like a Class D, correct?
I understand it is a remote tower.
