What I meant is NO seperation is provided outside controlled airspace ... RIS is INFORMATION and RAS is ADVISORY and with both it's only between participating IFR traffic ... note NO SEPERATION IS PROVIDED. Therefore flying IFR under IMC conditions in class G airspace will always hold a certain amount of risk. It is up to the IFR pilot to decide if he feels "lucky".
Perhaps one of our ATC members could help clarify this???
