Traffic Advisories
ATC is not required to keep VFR traffic separated from other VFR traffic. If their workload permits and the pilot asks, ATC will inform pilots when there is other traffic in the area.
TRAFFIC ADVISORIES- Advisories issued to alert pilots to other known or observed air traffic which may be in such proximity to the position or intended route of flight of their aircraft to warrant their attention. Such advisories may be based on: ...
a. Traffic advisories.
b. Vectors, when requested by the pilot, to assist aircraft receiving traffic advisories to avoid observed traffic.
TCAS-I generates traffic advisories only, TCAS-II provides advisories and collision avoidance instructions in the vertical plane.
Tailwind: Strong wind in the same direction as the motion of the aircraft.
TOGA: Take-off/Go Around.
Traffic advisories are a part of flight following which includes weather advisories, terrain, obstruction, and low altitude alerts. asking for flight following and being given flight following leaves out the rest of radar flight services.
pilots with preflight briefings including weather and notices to airmen (NOTAMs); filing, opening, and closing flight plans; monitoring navigational aids (NAVAIDs); collecting and disseminating pilot reports (PIREPs); offering traffic advisories to ...

TCAS-I generates traffic advisories only, TCAS-II provides advisories and collision avoidance
instructions in the vertical plane.
surveillance radar signals, sending altitude and a four-digit 'squawk code' to the radar site. Air traffic controllers use that to identify where aircraft are located, keep them separated if operating on IFR flight plans and offer traffic advisories ...
