The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated the schedule for restricted airspace at the Grand Bay Weapons Range in Georgia. This change extends the hours during which these areas (R-3008A, R-3008B, R-3008C, and R-3008D) can be activated without requiring a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), aligning the published hours more closely with their actual use. As a result, pilots will have a clearer understanding of when these areas are typically in use, and the workload related to issuing NOTAMs will be reduced. The rule change becomes effective on April 22, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is changing the times when special sky areas over Grand Bay in Georgia are used for military practice, so pilots know better when not to fly there, without needing a special alert every time.
