Preventive control service is provided only to aircraft operating in accordance with a?

Preventive control service is a proactive ATC action framework that can only be offered when there is a formal agreement between the operator and the air traffic service provider. This agreement, a Letter of Agreement, lays out the procedures, responsibilities, and conditions under which the controller can apply preventive actions to keep aircraft separated before a potential conflict develops. That formal backing is what makes preventive control possible and predictable for both sides. So, having an LOA is the key reason this service is provided; it defines the scope and rules for proactive coordination, ensuring everyone understands how and when preventive guidance or sequencing will be applied. Merely holding an IFR clearance, filing a VFR flight plan, or receiving ATC instructions does not by itself establish the specific conditions needed for preventive control to be offered.
