The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to create Class E airspace starting at 700 feet above the ground for the Sunbury Fire Department Heliport in Sunbury, NC. This new airspace is necessary to ensure the safety and management of flights that follow instrument flight rules (IFR) in the area. The public can submit comments on this proposal until March 3, 2025. The proposal notes that changes to the designated airspace are routine and not expected to significantly affect the economy or small entities.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to make a safe flying area in the sky above a place in Sunbury, NC, so that helicopters can fly safely using instruments, like when the weather is bad. They are asking people what they think about this until early March 2025.
