What type of terminal radar service is available for VFR flights in Class C airspace?

The correct response is that Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) Service is the type of terminal radar service available for VFR flights operating in Class C airspace. TRSA provides additional separation and advisory services to VFR aircraft that are flying within or operating in the vicinity of a Class C airport. It enhances the safety and efficiency of air traffic operations by allowing radar coverage and communication capabilities that offer VFR pilots traffic advisories and safety alerts.

TRSA is particularly beneficial because it integrates VFR operations with IFR traffic, providing pilots with more situational awareness of nearby traffic. This service is not mandatory but can significantly improve safety by allowing pilots to be more aware of their surroundings.

In contrast, other types of services do not apply specifically in the context of Class C airspace for VFR operations. Basic Radar Service offers limited radar service, mostly relating to information on traffic and weather rather than the robust participation found in TRSA. Class B service pertains to the more tightly controlled airspace around major airports, while Class D service relates to non-towered operations at airports with an operating control tower, which does not convey the same level of radar assistance available in a TRSA environment.
