Ok slightly inflammatory subject line but it's something I've heard and read.
My advice is to 'always be talking to someone' so outside CAS / transits I do - the London FIR usually and it's interesting too. But as my training progressed it was interesting to hear what experienced pilots do. Some I think sit on 7000 and do as I do but others (many perhaps?) don't do anything at all and presumably rely on the mark one eyeball and fair enough.
I'd like to know what do others do
(And is BS BS or is that an old can of worms it's best left unopened? I am tempted to ask why though to gauge the real level of 'comfort' to take from it i.e. relying on looking out for 100% of safety but with a BS backup seems logical and 'feels' right but should it give such confidence? )
Thank you.
