The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule to create a new Class E airspace in Newburyport, Massachusetts, specifically for the Anna Jaques Hospital Heliport. This airspace would start from 700 feet above the surface, helping with new GPS-based procedures for helicopter landings. The proposal aims to enhance safety and manage air traffic better for flights operating under instrument flight rules around the hospital. The public can submit comments on this proposal until March 1, 2021.
