It's not all that bad by all accounts

STH, All

Having been dealing with this little baby for a while now it appears it is not all doom and gloom.

Yes we now have added protection for our civvy mates....is that a bad thing? It's all to do with TCAS resolutions.

Anyway, having discussed the issue with the fast jets they are going to be, and usually are anyway, ROCD compliant when within CAS and for the majority of the time elsewhere.

It will only be when given full tactical freedom in relatively benign airspace that we will 'release the hounds' outwith the 8k per min restriction. Obviously if a sitch arises when we have to restrict then the terminology will allow us to do so.

My only gripe is that when we are trying to cut down on the ammount of admin crap we are mandated to spout; we have to add more crap to the existing crap making one big heap o' crap ......Thanks Civil!
