Yeah I see what your saying now, I was thrown by you saying procedural clearanc, then giving a vfr clearance, which i wouldn't give as an example of a procedural clearance, I'd just call it a clearance
Your saying it's not guaranteed to be RCS on entering CAS? If so I agree it's whatever Control service the ATCO can provide be it Approach or Radar.
Further to chevrons statement above, what controllers don't provide services to traffic joining their zone? How do they handle the traffic before it enters controlled airspace?
