SS , Do not confuse the need for deconfliction minima with standard separation. At the moment two IFR A/C on a RIS ,you would have to separate ,new system TIS, you wouldn't
Two A/C on a RAS seek to achieve etc, new system virtually the same
CAP 774 Chapter 4 page 2 , it is recognised that controllers cannot guarantee to achieve these deconfliction minima; however, they shall apply all reasonable endeavours.
Publication of ATSIN 132
This is consistent with the advisory nature of ATSOCAS, in which the controller provides advice in order to enable the pilot to fulfil his/her responsibilities for safe deconfliction from other aircraft.
Accordingly, it is therefore necessary to remove the current explicit requirement within CAP 493 to provide standard separation between IFR flights in Class G airspace that are being provided with a service by an approach control unit.
