Regarding coordination: Services in Class G is a hotbed... VFR traffic is entitled to be there, looking after themselves, not speaking to a soul (IMHO daft... but that's only my opinion?). So if I need to request complaince from a VFR pilot for coordination purposes, I will always use the minimum possible restriction. e.g. VFR pilot reports flying at 1000ft RPS and I am descending RAS traffic to 3000ft RPS... I would request the VFR pilot remains below 2000ft (2500ft if the IFR traffic is Military). That gives me the minimum vertical separation I need, and flexibility for the VFR pilot to manoeuvre if required. I aim to lift the restriction asap and always thank the pilot for his/her cooperation.
If I can't get the cooperation, or in some situations it's easier not to ask, then the RAS traffic gets the "Cooks Tour" (and probably a service limitation). Simple, No arguement!
(The pilot) could quite easily have been a low houred, newly qualified PPL rather than an instructor
Accepted, but please remember a similar statement can apply to the ATCO?
