When an aircraft is responding to an RA, traffic advisories and safety alerts regarding terrain and obstructions should be provided for which aircraft?

• A. The aircraft responding to the RA and all other aircraft under your control jurisdiction
• B. Only the RA aircraft
• C. All aircraft within radar range
• D. Only aircraft on the same frequency

Answer: (A)

During a Resolution Advisory, traffic advisories and safety alerts about terrain and obstructions are provided to the aircraft responding to the advisory and to every other aircraft under your control jurisdiction. This ensures all pilots in the controller’s airspace are aware of nearby traffic and hazards while avoidance maneuvers are being executed. The RA aircraft is actively maneuvering to resolve the conflict, but other traffic in the sector could also be affected or create a new risk, so alerts must be shared with all aircraft under the controller’s control. Limiting alerts to only the RA aircraft would leave other pilots uninformed; restricting alerts to targets within radar range or only to those on the same frequency would not reflect the controller’s responsibility to protect all aircraft under their control.
