If this is referenced in the AIM, please just diect me - I can do the research; but,

some Class D facilitys have VFR pilots contact App Control for sequencing and others don't.

For example going to RDG (Reading, PA) will have you contact Reading Apch for a squawk. They landthe same amount of traffic as TTN (Trenton Mercer, NJ). Yet Trenton Tower doesn't flip you to apch (you can just call up to land still squawking 1200).

The same services are offered at each field, so is this procedure based on ATC preference of the tower manager or would it have to do with a LOA?
