Well said, Chilli, Orgasmic, CAP and Machine

The whole impression of the material produced so far seems to reflect a cloud cuckoo land wherein the equivalent of a controlled airspace service is to be provided without the legislation, equipment or staff to achieve it.

All that is being done is a reinvention of the wheel. Apart from education of some controllers and pilots, what is needed IMHO is to (a) adhere to current terminology ("RIS", "RAS" etc), (b) write the current requirements more accurately (e.g. when RIS traffic may be vectored, "non-participating traffic" - non-participating in what?), (c) include the relevant flight rules in the equation and (d) specify in practical terms how adjacent aircraft under different services may be handled.

I look at the names involved in the deliberations and wonder just how much appreciation there is. Every T, D & H seems to be in on the act, including unions and the Guild, except a representative from each pertinent unit.
