Deconfliction Service
A Deconfliction Service is a surveillance based ATS where, in addition to the provisions of a Basic Service, the controller provides specific surveillance derived traffic information and deconfliction advice.
The controller will expect the pilot to accept headings and/or levels that may require flight in IMC. A pilot who is not suitably qualified to fly in IMC shall not request a Deconfliction Service unless compliance permits the flight to be continued in VMC.
A controller will provide traffic information, accompanied with a heading and/or level aimed at achieving a planned deconfliction minima. High controller workload or RTF loading may reduce the ability of the controller to pass such deconfliction advice; furthermore, unknown aircraft may make unpredictable or high-energy manoeuvres. Consequently, controllers cannot guarantee to achieve these deconfliction minima; however, they shall apply all reasonable endeavors. The avoidance of traffic is ultimately the pilot’s responsibility.
The pilot shall inform the controller if he elects not to act on the controller’s deconfliction advice, and; therefore accepts responsibility for initiating any subsequent collision avoidance against that particular conflicting aircraft.
A Deconfliction Service will only be provided to aircraft operating at or above a terrain safe level, unless on departure from an aerodrome when climbing to a terrain safe level, or when following notified instrument approach procedures. If a controller detects a confliction when an aircraft is departing from an aerodrome and climbing to the terrain safe level, or when following notified instrument approach procedures, traffic information without deconfliction advice shall be passed. However, if the pilot requests deconfliction advice, or the controller considers that a definite risk of collision exists, the controller shall immediately offer such advice.
