When the U.K. airspace re-classification occurred, (sometime in the 1990s I think), our CTR went from 'Rule21' to class D. There was no training, and little guidance from unit management, about handling VFR traffic. Certain procedures, originally designed to keep SVFR and IFR traffic apart, were kept in place as they also helped reducing 'non-standard' IFR routings, and therefore noise.
Is the integration of VFR/IFR traffic taught on the APP or APS course at CATC these days?
