great to hear what used to go and it also doesn’t surprise me. 😂 as long as you guys didn’t mind I guess...
but really it should be managed, in the UK we’d use ATSOCAS ( Air Traffic Services Outside CAS). It’s now called. Basic service but it’s pretty much a FIS. And there’s other services too in particular radar services.. what used to be Radar Information Service and Radar Advisory. Much of the UK away from major airports is Class G.. so the nearest unit normally offers a service. It works well.
the band boxing of Freqs ( tower and Zone) is too allow for better staff utilisation during the quieter parts of the day ( zone/FIS) wise ( night).
whilst it worked... there’s no reason for it not be ICAO standard or as the UK do... better.
