If your flight conditions and/or nature of flight are such that you need advice on how to avoid conflicting aircraft
But in the case quoted you don't need "advice" - you have been given traffic information and decide if and how you want to avoid it.
I would rather be in receipt of a Traffic Service in IMC etc rather than just a Basic.
Seems like common sense to me rather than arbitrarily following "rules".
1. When the engine quits or things go to shyte over the highlands I don't have to spend the valuable and limited time I have "introducing" myself as they already know even without radar coverage who I am , where I am coming from and going to, and what my current approximate position is based on the average speed of a spam can which should be enough to vector the cavalry to my approximate position then my fancy ELT that's registered with the emergency services will hopefully pinpoint my position from there and allow them to deliver any emergency resources needed such as first aid or Marlboros.
piperboy84, my sentiments also. Another bonus is that the agency you're talking to might be able to give you rapid bearing and distance information from a suitable landing site within glide range.
