Which statement about Uncontrolled Airspace is true?

Which statement about Uncontrolled Airspace is true?

• A. Pilots provide their own separation regardless of IFR/VFR
• B. ATC provides separation for all traffic
• C. ATC separation is not required for IFR but required for VFR
• D. Radar monitoring is continuous

Answer: (A)

Uncontrolled airspace is where ATC does not provide separation services to traffic. Therefore pilots are responsible for maintaining their own separation, whether they are flying IFR or VFR. ATC does not separate all traffic there, and there is no requirement that IFR receive ATC separation in this airspace. Radar monitoring is not guaranteed continuous in uncontrolled airspace; radar services are provided only where available within controlled airspace or designated radar areas, not as a standard feature of uncontrolled regions.
