UK ATC - Foreign Pilots and ATSOCAS
A question for units that operate in Class G, and have frequent foreign pilots.
One of the underlying themes of the new ATSOCAS is that it relies hugely on both ATC and pilots knowing exactly what they are asking for, and what they are giving. Hence the massive education programme. If you operate in Class G, what is your unit's guidance on how to apply the new ATSOCAS to a foreign pilot? He won't know what service to ask for, and if you unilaterally impose a service on him, he has no way of knowing his obligations and responsibilities. So how can you reach an "accord" with someone who doesn't understand the process?
