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

• A. Airspace Reservation Service
• B. Terminal Radar Service
• C. Airport Control Service
• D. Area Control Service

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is the ability to identify a service that designates and protects airspace for a planned operation. Reserving a block of controlled airspace means that specific airspace is set aside and kept clear for a particular activity, with ATC coordinating to ensure other traffic does not intrude, so the operation can proceed safely with the required separation and timing. This matches Airspace Reservation Service, which is specifically described as providing reserved airspace for specified air operations within controlled airspace. Other services have different roles—Area Control Service handles en-route traffic, Terminal Radar Service supports radar advisory in the terminal area, and Airport Control Service manages traffic at the airport itself—but none of them are about reserving airspace for a defined operation.
