Thanks - hoped you would be along.

So where a service is being provided by a CAS service provider but continues the service outside of CAS I understand from your reply that they would have primary. For example Gatwick will often provide a service outside of their class D.

If the provider was unable to provide primary cover would they have to discontinue any service?

Interesting point with regards the military. Presumably working Brise for example you are suggesting they might be providing you with a RIS but without primary cover?

I am also interested to know how well hot air ballons show up on primary? Gatwick asked me to intercept and identify a ballon a while back but I subsequently wondered how well they were able to "see" it on primary.
