The Airspace Control Authority (ACA) is primarily responsible for which of the following?

• A. Maintaining the airstrip facilities
• B. Managing daily personnel rosters
• C. Directing maritime defense operations
• D. Overall operations of the airspace control system

Answer: (D)

The airspace control authority oversees the entire airspace control system, directing how airspace is allocated, protected, and deconflicted to ensure safe and efficient operations for all users. It sets up the procedures, coordinates with other agencies, and ensures those control measures are implemented across the area of operations, so joint forces can operate without risk of conflicts. The other tasks—maintaining airstrip facilities, managing daily personnel rosters, or directing maritime defense operations—lie outside the ACA’s scope and belong to respective support, administrative, or maritime commands.
