    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to the airspace around Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia. Due to the air traffic control tower operating part-time, the FAA plans to adjust Class D airspace and create new Class E airspace to ensure flight safety and efficient airspace use. Public comments on these changes are invited until April 25, 2025. The proposal aims to maintain safety for aircraft using instrument flight rules in the area.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change how the sky is organized above a military base in Georgia because the people who help planes fly safely in that area will be working less time. They're doing this so planes can still follow the rules and stay safe in the sky.
