Why not? A friend had an emergency a while back that required landing
against traffic in IMC. The tower told him they were "spooling up" (yes,
that was the phrase; I don't know why {8^) the ILS for the runway in the
direction he was to be using. I presume that they also shut down the
other side, and that they swapped back after my friend landed (which he
did quite successfully, I'm pleased to add).

Admittedly, this was not a class D but a class B. Why, if so, would that
make a difference?


Who would you expect would have control of the approach, the tower or
approach control?
