ASquared my reply, if you read it, was prefaced by 'in a radar environment' since that it how 99% of IFR operations in the lower 48 US are conducted. However, as you stated that phaseology has additional non-radar implications.
Interestingly, since the advent of CENRAP and proliferation of multi-sensor radar approach controls most controllers no longer get recurrent training in non-radar procedures so alot of this is confined to remote parts of the square states and outside the US. To practice for non-radar ops controllers used to bring out the 'pizza pies'...slang for big cardboard overlays that fit over the old round radar PFD's (alot of the big approach controls now have square color ACD's running ARTSIIIE software or STARS) these had all the non radar routes, procedures and rules on them. Not to be confused with the old 'pizza boards' used for delivery of strips in centers and large tracons. Gotta call Papa Johns when I'm done this.
