VFR OPR SHOULD EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION AND MUST ASSURE THEMSELVES THAT THEIR INTENDED FLIGHT CAN BE CONDUCTED IN A SAFE MANNER BEFORE FLYING. THEY SHOULD NOTE THAT ATSOCAS CONTROL CAPACITY MAY BE SEVERELY LIMITED DURING THE PERIOD. AUS 10-04-0218/AS2.
Huh? Without any IFR traffic, I'd have thought there'd be plenty of capacity for ATSOCAS for VFR traffic!! Or maybe all the NATS guys are going home to sit it out!
