FAA Logistics Center

The FAA Logistics Center is an organization that supports the National Airspace System of air traffic controllers and aviation safety inspectors. The Logistics Center provides consulting, engineering, repair, distribution, and technical support for air traffic control services in the United States and 44 different countries. Because some of the components are unique and not in current production, the center also provides technical solutions through a network of engineers using in-house manufacturing and repair facilities.

FAA Academy

The FAA Academy is a principal training facility of the FAA. Air traffic controllers receive their training at the Academy. The FAA Academy received accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Different courses have different admissions criteria, with some being available to other government agencies, industry, and international civil aviation authorities.

** aeromedical publications (aviation safety brochures, research technical reports, and the Federal Air Surgeon's Medical Bulletin) and other materials used to disseminate aeromedical information to promote aviation safety
** aeromedical and aviation safety reference/research library system
* Human Factors Research Division – conducts an integrated program of field and laboratory performance research in organizational and human factors aspects of aviation work environments
* Aerospace Medical Research Division – responsible for enhancing human safety, security, and survivability in civilian aerospace operations with three main research activities:
** investigation of the injury and death patterns in civilian flight accidents, analysis to determine cause and prevention strategies
** development of recommendations for protective equipment and procedures
** evaluation of proposal of safety and health regulations addressing aircraft cabins

Research Associateship Program

The National Academy of Sciences offers Research Associateship Programs for fellowship and other grants for CAMI research. Eligibility requirements can vary for each research opportunity, and fellowships are available for Postdoctoral Associates.
