CAP 774 review

[NorthSouth]

A review of CAP 774 has gone out for consultation (http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1350&pagetype=90&pageid=15777).

Now, we're told that controllers have to give traffic info to aircraft on a Basic Service, and that Deconfliction Service will no longer be available to VFR traffic.

Funny that. When the CAA last looked at all this over the period 2007-2009, we were told that it was really important that pilots on a FIS should not be given the expectation that they would get traffic info, and also that the long-standing rule that RAS was only available to IFR traffic should be abandoned.

Plus ca change.....

What do others think?

I thought the whole point of changing to the new ATSOCAS was to get the rules straight in everyone's head, including the fact that Traffic Information should never be expected under a Basic Service.

You can give a Basic Service without radar, so how do we give Traffic without a radar?
