Thanks ATCbabe,
So why does a pilot have to request a service???
if he is calling you, you will give him the service corresponding to the airspace..... that's what we do in France
is it only for non controlled airspace?? the pilot will choose FIS or RIS???
IF a pilot call me and request FIS in a E aispace where we have IFR acfts, what does he expect me to do??
