    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish Class E airspace at the Ottawa Executive Airport in Zeeland, Michigan, effective April 17, 2025. This change is needed because of new instrument flight procedures developed for the airport, which will support safer flights under instrument flight rules (IFR). The new airspace will extend upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile radius of the airport. The rule also updates FAA Order JO 7400.11, detailing airspace designations, and notes that it does not have significant regulatory or environmental impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making a new sky area called Class E near an airport in Zeeland, Michigan, so airplanes can fly safely using special directions even when they can't see well. This change starts in April 2025 and helps planes fly safely without saying how much it costs or who pays for it.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) corrected a typographic error in a previously published final rule regarding airspace establishment at Zeeland, MI. Originally released in the Federal Register on December 13, 2024, this rule mistakenly included duplicate state identifiers, including an incorrect “SD” identifier. The corrected rule now accurately reflects that Zeeland, MI airspace should be associated with Ottawa Executive Airport, MI. This ensures that navigational data is accurate for implementation by April 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA fixed a mistake in a rule about sky zones over Zeeland, Michigan, because they wrote the wrong place letters. Now, they made sure the sky zones map to the right airport, so airplane guides will be correct by April 2025.
