Just as an aside to the RIS debate ... when I was in the RAF on dets to FI, at all radar sites, the assistants ( TG12 not TG9 ) would often give RIS to the helos and occasionally fixed-wing a/c transitting VFR. They would always add phrases such as 'info only' and 'pilot's discretion' etc etc.
Whilst the airspace is obviously in no way comparable to UK, what's the legality of that now bearing in mind TG12 ( ASOp ) have no ticket for 'controlling' ?
For clarity and for readers unfamiliar with the FI ATC environment -it's a one-off and the situation would NEVER happen here !
There are only 2 or 3 controllers at each radar site, and controller positions are only manned during active sorties or QRA.
Low level transits or helo traffic was VFR normally. If an a/c requested active control, a 'qualified' controller was always on-call and at the console within minutes.
