Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. 106). The

mission of the FAA is to regulate civil

aviation and U.S. commercial space

transportation, maintain and operate air

traff‌i c control and navigation systems

for both civil and military aircraft, and

develop and administer programs relating

to aviation safety and the National

Airspace System.

stations, airport traff‌i c control towers, and

air route traff‌i c control centers.
