Which service provides reserved airspace for specified air operations in controlled airspace?

• A. Aircraft Movement Information Service
• B. Terminal Radar Service
• C. Airspace Reservation Service
• D. Airport Control Service

Answer: (C)

When a specific operation needs guaranteed airspace protection within the controlled system, a reserved block of airspace is created for that mission. The Airspace Reservation Service handles requests to establish and manage these protected volumes. It coordinates with air traffic control facilities, sets the time window, location, altitude limits, and duration, and ensures the reservation is properly published so other airspace users know to avoid or obtain clearance. This service is specifically designed to provide a defined, temporary space where the operation can proceed safely without intruding on or being interfered with by other traffic. Other services handle different tasks: Aircraft Movement Information Service provides information about aircraft movements, Terminal Radar Service offers advisory radar routing for approach/departure, and Airport Control Service manages traffic within the airport area. They do not establish reserved airspace for a particular operation.
