The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. Every day, the (FAA) provides air traffic service to more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers across more than 29 million square miles that make up the U.S. national airspace system (NAS). This will be a brief presentation of how that is accomplished. We'll look at the personnel and equipment necessary to get a passenger from St Louis Airport (STL) to Miami (MIA) or any other destination.

Sessions are $5 each for non-members and can be registered for individually. SIUE faculty, staff, and students can attend the Lifelong Learning Speaker Series for free.
