Which government agency is responsible for the United States' Air Traffic System?

• A. NTSB
• B. TSA
• C. FAA
• D. DOT

Answer: (C)

The essential idea is which agency runs and regulates the nation's air traffic system. The Federal Aviation Administration handles this role, responsible for air traffic control, airspace management, and the safety oversight that keeps flights moving safely and efficiently. It operates the control towers and en route centers, provides navigation services to pilots, and enforces the rules that govern how aircraft share airspace. While the FAA sits under the Department of Transportation and other agencies have related functions—such as the NTSB investigating accidents and TSA handling security—the actual operation and supervision of the air traffic system is the FAA’s duty.
