Maybe - but maybe not ...

I never cease to be amazed by the number of pilots I hear who just ask for FIS. The average PPL seems to get a comfortable feeling from simply having someone to talk to while they are flying their X/C, irrespective of the actual service they are getting. Maybe it's just the way they have been brought up by their instructor ...

I have tried so many times to educate with the benefits of RIS over FIS - but generally it is to no avail.

So, I rather expect the same attitude may apply to TS after 12 March ...
