The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend Class E airspace in Kenansville, North Carolina. This amendment involves adding controlled airspace around ECU Health Duplin Heliport, necessary for the safety and efficient management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. Effective from April 17, 2025, the action ensures that the designated airspace accommodates aircraft procedures by extending from 700 feet above ground within a specified radius of the heliport. The rule change is considered routine and does not have a significant economic impact or environmental effects.
Simple Explanation
The government made a new rule to help keep the skies safe for helicopters flying over a place called Kenansville in North Carolina. They added an invisible bubble in the sky to make sure these flying machines can fly safely using special rules from way up high.
