The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes the airspace rules for several towns in Minnesota. This action includes updating and revoking the Class E airspace areas due to the removal of certain navigation beacons. The rule involves updating the airport names and geographic coordinates to match FAA records and supports instrument flight operations at these airports. It also revokes the airspace at Silver Bay Municipal Airport as it is no longer needed. The FAA concluded that these are routine updates that have minimal environmental impact and do not significantly affect small business entities.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is changing the rules for flying around some towns in Minnesota because they no longer need certain navigation guides in the area. They also decided that one airport, Silver Bay, doesn't need special airspace anymore because the special flying procedures there are no longer used.
