In a MARSA arrangement, separation is provided between participating military aircraft and which of the following?

• A. Nonparticipating VFR Aircraft
• B. Civilian Airliners
• C. Nonparticipating IFR Aircraft
• D. Other Military Aircraft

Answer: (D)

In MARSA, the military takes responsibility for separating the aircraft that are participating in the MARSA arrangement, and that separation covers other military aircraft as well. This arrangement is set up to ensure safe spacing among military flights operating under MARSA, using military procedures and coordination to prevent conflicts with other military traffic in the same airspace. Civilian traffic remains under civil ATC control, so the military’s responsibility does not extend to nonparticipating civilian aircraft.
