    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced the availability of a Written Re-evaluation/Record of Decision (WR/ROD) for changes to the Las Vegas Metroplex Project's Final Environmental Assessment design for five flight procedures. These changes involve four procedures at McCarran International Airport and one at Henderson Executive Airport. The FAA has determined that these changes do not significantly alter environmental impacts, and thus, no supplement to the Final Environmental Assessment will be prepared. The WR/ROD and related documents are accessible to the public for review.

The new airspace regulations begin at 700 feet above ground level and extend in a 6.3-mile radius around the airport. The rule is part of the FAA's ongoing efforts to ensure safe and efficient airspace use, and it is scheduled to take effect on April 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is adding some new sky rules around an airport in Redfield, South Dakota, so planes can fly safely using special tools when they can't see well. These rules start about as high as 70 basketball hoops stacked on top of each other and go out far enough to cover the airport and a bit more.
