Which statement best describes Basic service provided by ATC for routing outside CAS?

• A. Basic service, where ATC provides very basic traffic information and it is the pilot's responsibility to avoid traffic
• B. Procedural service, where ATC provides more detailed traffic information using non-surveillance methods
• C. Enhanced radar service with ATC separation responsibility
• D. No service is provided; the pilot must self-announce and avoid traffic

Answer: (A)

Basic service outside controlled airspace is the level where ATC provides only essential traffic information to help you see and avoid other aircraft, and you maintain responsibility for separation. This makes the statement describing ATC as giving very basic traffic information and leaving avoidance to the pilot the best fit. The other options imply more advanced or radar-based coordination (procedural or enhanced radar services) or no service at all, which do not apply to Basic service outside CAS.
