LARS provided 3 services RIS, RAS and FIS, he used FIS, so he did use it!
Understood, but if RIS was available would it not have been preferable to use it?
One of the requirements of the test is that you demonstrate a full position report!
I got the feeling that several bits of this sample flight may have been included simply to demonstrate knowledge for the purposes of the practical exam.
Thanks for the reply and for the links
