From the latest mailout:
"IFR OPERATIONS IN CLASS E AIRSPACE
Except in an emergency pilot to pilot exchage on ATC frequencies should not take place in class E airspace. Pilots using the VFR climb and descent and VFR-on-top procedures should not use radio arranged seperation but should use radio alerted see and avoid. That is they should visually avoid traffic that ATC has informed them of."
This means that we will be given traffic as per class G, be expected to get a mental picture of what's happening, talk to ATC if we're getting worried, look out the window and hope for the best. Throw in multicom, HF based DTI & low level class G radio requirements and the flight deck is getting rather busy.
