CAP 774 review
A review of CAP 774 has gone out for consultation.
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?
