The Archie League Medal of Safety Award is presented annually by the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) to honor exceptional air traffic controller work. The award was created in 2004 and is named after the first U.S. air traffic controller, Archie League. It is awarded to an air traffic controller or a team of controllers who have worked together to help a pilot in distress. The Archie Award is presented the last night at CFS.
