Please Help!!
When I completed my ATSOCAS training I was taught that under a Traffic or Deconfliction Service the pilot may not change heading or level without approval from ATC.
However on reading the CAP under DS it says that the pilot must rquest a hdg/lvl change and approval must be given.Under Traffic Service it says the pilot must advise ATC and get a response. It says nothing about needing ATC approval.
I am now confused and would appreciate any help offered.
