Procedural separation?
It puzzles me that pilots think they can do a better job of arranging separation via radio than ATC. When pilots do their own IFR separation in Class G it seems to be based on the principle that if no-one saw it, it never happened. Whereas if ATC are arranging separation, you
know when there was a problem. You can guarantee that for every collision or known loss of separation in Class G, there were hundreds more that went unreported.
