What kind of airspace is classified as a TRSA?

Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA) is a specific type of airspace that exists around major airports, designed to enhance the separation of aircraft while they are under radar control. In a TRSA, both VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) operations are accommodated, allowing for increased safety and efficiency in busy airspace zones.

In these areas, participating VFR aircraft can receive traffic advisories and added separation from IFR traffic provided by the radar services. This service helps pilots navigate more effectively and enables better management of air traffic in areas with potentially high congestion, particularly near airports.

The other classifications, such as Temporary Restricted Zone Airspace or others mentioned, do not accurately describe the function and purpose of TRSA. TRSAs specifically focus on radar services in terminal environments, which is distinct from other airspace categories that may not provide the same level of service or operational structure.
