Oh dear,
I feel that our friend Pete Morris is also forgetting the basic rules of the air here.Yes, the Visual Flight Rules mean that the responsibility for separation outside Regulated airspace rests with the "SEE AND AVOID"principle and therefore the pilot.(As it does in CAS too,the buck stops with the pilot.). .Remember though Pete, that the following are parts of the ANO and Rules of the Air:
. .1)A VFR FLIGHT WITHIN ,INTO OR ALONG ROUTES WETHER IN CAS OR NOT ,SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED WITH THE PURPOSE OF THE PILOT MAINTAINING A LISTENING WATCH SHALL MAKE A CONTINUOUS WATCH ON THE RTF FREQUENCY AND REPORT HIS POSITION TO THE ATSU.
2)OPERATION ON OR IN THE VACINITY OF AN AERODROME.. .AN AIRCRAFT ON OR IN THE VACINITY OF AN AERODROME MUST,WETHER IN THE ATZ OR NOT:
OBSERVE OTHER A/C FOR PURPOSE OF AVOIDING COLLISION,. .CONFORM TO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN
amongst others.
While I can see your point about class G airspace,it must be remembered that by passing through an IAP outside CAS in the Manner CM described is not only illegal but dangerous too.This airfield has an IAP for a reason, and that approach is legal.
You could be CA 1261'd ,CA939'd for such action.
Whenever I transition from IFR (in IMC)to IFR (IN VMC )outside CAS ,I realise that although I am in class G airspace and recieving a RAS ,I need to lookout still,but I do hope that fellow flyers are doing their bit and avoiding IAP altogether.
Cheers
