Training Wheels,
ENR1.1 24 makes it clear that IFR is allowed in GAAP, but have to operate visually and provide own separation if the conditions are VMC. You can plan IFR into and out of GAAP, but the tower will instruct you to track visually and you are responsible for separation, based on traffic information. Only if conditions are IMC will separation be provided.
Since my post, my contention that this will benefit RPT has crumbled somewhat: there is no separation between IFR and VFR in Class D either.
There goes that conclusion, which has served only to add more mud to the puddle. Why make a change that will change nothing?
