With particular reference to the "Duty of Care" issue and the non-LARS APS Units, where else in the world would you (apparently) be under pressure by the regulator to provide a free service and have all the liabilities that go with it dropped on you?
It is inferred that a service has to be provided, or the ATCO has to defend himself/herself with a reason why he/she is not going to provide it. Is it not time for the host airports who contract ANSPs to provide ATS and manage their controlled airspace to tell the CAA "Bog off, we are paying our ANSP for a service at our airport and within out airspace to manage our traffic, we have told our ANSP that he is not to provide a service to traffic remaining outside controlled airspace unless the CAA pays us for accepting the liability that goes with it."?
