According to the new impending rules, I could be sitting at my usual spot controlling in a class G procedural unit, with two aircraft on, one inbound for the ILS and one transitter, both IFR and IMC, within a short distance from the overhead and at the same level. In the existing system, standard separation would have been applied according to the MATS Pt 1. In the new system, if one of the aircraft elects for a basic service and one for a procedural service, I should only provide traffic information. Can't see how this makes the situation any safer...
Exactly. And under the new services, I don't see any mention of
essential traffic information, maybe this will be done away with or maybe it will become clearer in the new MATS.
