thanks for clarification. My only (possibly irrelevant or trivial point) is that it seems to me to be easier to do such 'frequency monitoring for awareness, including of CAT traffic density' if there's a 'spare' radio (or channel of a radio, eg the Standby frequency) if you're flying in an area where being simultaneously tuned for 2-way communication on some other frequency might be prudent. Oh, and also if there's another pilot (eg the handling one) to share the comms (and nav, and handling) mode. But for a FI, Errant or not, such extra workload may also seem trivial. In Class G near Bristol this may be less demanding than, say, in or near Class D or RMZ areas near Farnborough ..
