In TRSA areas, participating pilots can receive additional radar services to provide separation between which groups?

• A. IFR operations and nonparticipating VFR aircraft
• B. IFR operations and participating VFR aircraft
• C. Only IFR operations
• D. Only VFR operations

Answer: (D)

The important idea is that TRSA provides participating pilots with extra radar services to help keep IFR traffic separated from aircraft not participating in the radar services. This means the main benefit is preventing conflicts between IFR operations and nonparticipating VFR aircraft inside the TRSA. IFR traffic already has standard separation under instrument rules, so the added capability is most relevant for separating IFR from nonparticipating VFR. The focus is not on separating only IFR traffic or only VFR traffic among themselves, but on reducing potential conflicts between IFR and nonparticipating VFR within the TRSA.
