The Basic service contract implies that:

• A. ATC provides detailed traffic information and separation
• B. ATC provides weather updates only
• C. ATC provides surveillance-based traffic reports
• D. ATC provides basic traffic information and the pilot remains responsible to avoid traffic

Answer: (D)

Basic service provides only basic traffic information from ATC, and the pilot remains responsible for maintaining own separation and avoiding other aircraft. The controller may pass along general traffic information as available, but there is no separation service or deconfliction obligation on ATC under this level. Weather updates aren’t the primary focus of Basic service, and surveillance-based or guaranteed traffic reports aren’t provided. That’s why the statement that ATC provides basic traffic information and the pilot remains responsible to avoid traffic best matches what Basic service entails.
