No.
If so then you will see that if an IFR flight requests traffic avoidance against a VFR there is no requirement to provide standard IFR-IFR separation.
Nobody said there was. If you avoid traffic, you must, by definition, separate (i.e - stop them banging together). It matters not that you do not achieve
standard separation, you have just achieved some form of separation.
If you think that avoidance and separation are the same can you please pass on the laid down separation standards for weather avoidance
