Class A airspace is generally the airspace from 18,000 feet (~3.4 miles, 5.5 km) mean sea level (MSL) up to and including flight level (FL) 600 (~11.4 miles, 18.3 km), including the airspace overlying the waters within 12 nautical miles (NM) (~13.8 miles, 22.2 km) of the coast of the 48 contiguous states and Alaska. Unless otherwise authorized ...
The placement and height of an ATC tower are determined by addressing the many FAA requirements and site-specific considerations to ensure safety within the National Airspace System (NAS). The FAA has stated that new towers should be constructed with a goal of providing the shortest possible tower required to meet siting criteria for that ...
The National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force operate the Next Generation Weather Radar, or NEXRAD, system of 160 high-resolution weather radars that ...
In May 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released the report, Capacity Needs in the National Airspace System, 2007–2025, as part of its Future Airport Capacity Task (FACT2).

It is responsible for high-altitude traffic above both the New York Metropolitan Area and Philadelphia/Delaware Valley metro area, as well as 3,250,000 square miles (8,400,000 km 2) of oceanic airspace. [21] The unit originally existed at JFK Airport, before moving in July 1963 to a purpose-built site in Suffolk County.
