This whole review was sparked off by several recommendations from the UKAB. This was after several Airprox occurred, where the aircraft concerned should have quite clearly been under a RAS or some form of positive control. A RAS in many of these Airprox, had been refused, often due to the "policy" of the organisations concerned, rather than individuals limiting a service. The review has become a self licking lollipop and rather than looking at policing of existing services and mandating certain ANSPs to provide them under their licence, it has gone down the road of trying to re-invent the wheel. What are we trying to do? Prevent collisions between aircraft and between aircraft and obstructions. Yes there are a few pilots who do not understand RAS/RIS, but that is an education problem, that is significantly less than having to re-educate everyone. The current services work well, we just need to ensure that they are provided when asked for, across the whole of the UK.
