Question about TRSA - KPSP

Yes that is a good point. I guess we can call it TRSA SPAM since we
have to "OPT out." :) They way the controllers handle it is that if
you contact tower they switch you to approch unless you "OPT out."
Just the fact that you are contacting them they then assume you want
TRSA services. I guess if you look at it from a safety point of view
then the "OPT out" method might be in everyones best interest. But
ultimately it is your choice.


FAA Order 7110.65 contains the note below under TRSA Departure Information.
It says nothing at all about TRSA arrivals.


NOTE-
Departing aircraft are assumed to want TRSA service unless the pilot states,
"negative TRSA service," or makes a similar comment. Pilots are expected to
inform the controller of intended destination and/or route of flight and
altitude.
