I'm not confused. The ATC Service in Class D is a Radar Control Service (or possibly a Procedural Service, unlikely, but possible).

RCS doesn't imply that you are going to get vectored all around the sky, or indeed that any separation is going to be provided against IFR traffic.

The Class of airspace dictates the separation (or otherwise) that ATC have to provide. In Class D there is no requirement to separate IFR and VFR traffic.

I don't understand why the Military, in particular, don't change the type of service when I enter CAS, but merely advise me to maintain VMC. They are always very quick to place me under one of the ATSOCAS when I leave, which is right and proper.

But what type of service do they reckon they are providing in CAS?
