"Avoiding action is exactly that, given in my case in Class g airspace it means I need as much turn rate as you and your aircraft can safely give me otherwise standard separation will not be achieved."

I venture to suggest that you don't actually mean that. Avoiding action gives no guarantees about standard separation, it is simply designed to try and avoid aircraft hitting each other. If you achieve standard separation, great.

It follows that with shocked passengers being better than dead ones, I expect the captain to immediately give me everything he safely can, i.e. without endangering the aircraft or occupants.
