Portree Regional, the presentation you attended probably related just to ATSOCAS, reflecting what is set out in CAP774. The changes to the Flight Information Services as a whole
do also relate to what you can expect within CAS and, for "chapter and verse", you will find the Services described in
CAP493 MATS Part 1.
Section 2, Chapter 1 para.1 sets out Aerodrome Control Services as follows :
Chapter 1 Aerodrome Control
1 Provision of Services
1.1 An Aerodrome Control unit shall provide:
a) Aerodrome Control Service.
b) Basic Service.
c) Alerting Service.
... and Section 3, Chapter 1, para.1 relates to Approach Control and reads :
Chapter 1 Approach Control
1 Provision of Services1.1 An Approach Control unit shall provide:
a) Approach Control Service with or without the use of ATS surveillance systems;
b) Basic Service;
c) Alerting Service.
... while Section 3, Chapter 2, para.2 relates to Approach Radar units and reads :
Chapter 2 Approach Radar
2 Services
2.1 The service provided depends on the type of airspace within which the aircraft is operating as described below:
• Within controlled airspace – Radar Control Service;
• Outside controlled airspace – Procedural Service, Deconfliction Service, Traffic Service, or Basic Service.
Finally, Section 1 Chapter 11 describes
UK Flight Information Services, much as set out in CAP774.
Hope this helps ...
