Eggs Petition, if you were meaning to attribute the second sentence above to me, that is not quite what I said - however, it is certainly one of the several possibilities.

Inside a Class D Zone, Approach Service may be either Approach Control or Approach Radar, depending on the facilities available. So, back to Portree Regional's question, in the case of a VFR Transit of Class D, the Service provided or offered may be one of three -
  • Approach Control Service (with or without the use of ATS surveillance systems),
  • Basic Service, or
  • Radar Control Service.
What I would say is that any controller offering FIS after 12 March was simply not up-to-speed with the changes ...
