Sounds pretty scary, I was sure everyone uses instruments.

  Less scary than relying on ATC in the US. If you start reading accident reports from the US for GA then it’s its surprisingly frequent that the conclusion is pilot should not have listened to ATC. I think it’s to do with the privatised ATC towers just being lower quality than government run towers in other countries.

    With how seriously NTSB five-whys recommendations are taken at all other levels in the industry, you'd think repeated mentions that privatized ATC is problematic would be taken by the FAA as a strong recommendation to... stop allowing that.
