UK - Forthcoming ATSOCAS changes
Having given my CD and CAP 774 a good once-over, I can't escape the feeling that, in a nutshell:
Basic service = FIS
Traffic service = RIS
Deconfliction service = RAS
Procedural service = giving a name to something we have anyway but no particular name for,
plus extra R/T to remind pilots that terrain separation is their own responsibilty (and a load of legalese **** that really should not be of any concern to pilots and controllers).
Is that about right?
