TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides

A

IFR separation (1,000 feet vertical and 3 miles lateral) between all aircraft.

B

warning to pilots when their aircraft are in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft.

C

sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

AIM 4-1-18 describes TRSA service as radar sequencing and separation for all IFR and participating VFR aircraft in a Terminal Radar Service Area. It does not provide full IFR separation standards between all aircraft, and terrain/obstruction warnings are safety alerts rather than the purpose of TRSA service.
