UK trial GPS approaches, non-G-reg

Currently foreign reg planes are banned from these.

However -

If the IAP is outside CAS, ATC have no authority. What prevents somebody flying it but breaking off just outside the ATZ? Or flying the whole lot but not descending below 2000ft AGL.

In practice, one would contact ATC and tell them, for obvious courtesy and traffic information reasons.

I can't see a problem with this, especially given that the procedures go out a very long way, and there is going to be a ton of traffic flying the very same tracks who probably won't be talking to that ATC unit at all.

Opinions?
