  • 2021-01021 — Amendment of Restricted Areas R-3008A, R-3008B, R-3008C, and R-3008D; Grand Bay Weapons Range, GA
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11421
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated the schedule for restricted airspace at the Grand Bay Weapons Range in Georgia. This change extends the hours during which these areas (R-3008A, R-3008B, R-3008C, and R-3008D) can be activated without requiring a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), aligning the published hours more closely with their actual use. As a result, pilots will have a clearer understanding of when these areas are typically in use, and the workload related to issuing NOTAMs will be reduced. The rule change becomes effective on April 22, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is changing the times when special sky areas over Grand Bay in Georgia are used for military practice, so pilots know better when not to fly there, without needing a special alert every time.

  • 2025-04392 — Establishment of Restricted Areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C; Camp Lejeune, NC; and Restricted Areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C; Cherry Point, NC
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13112
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to establish new restricted airspace areas at Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point in North Carolina. The new areas, designated as R-5305A, R-5305B, R-5305C, R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C, aim to connect with existing restricted areas to form larger zones needed for training activities that involve hazardous tasks like deploying weapons and using non-eye safe lasers. This will support the U.S. Marine Corps in conducting realistic training exercises. The public is invited to comment by May 5, 2025, on the proposal, which will also undergo an environmental analysis before any final decisions are made.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to create extra special areas in the sky near two places in North Carolina—Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point—where planes can't go because the military needs to practice using things like fake weapons and lasers safely. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this idea by May 5, 2025.

  • 2025-01974 — Establishment of Restricted Area R-2103C and Amendment of Restricted Area R-2103A and R-2103B; Fort Novosel, AL
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8491
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made changes to the restricted airspace areas R-2103A and R-2103B at Fort Novosel, Alabama, and created a new restricted area R-2103C. These adjustments alter the height limits for these zones but do not change their lateral boundaries or increase total airspace. The primary objective is to align these areas with daily mission needs and to allow joint use by non-participant aircraft when U.S. Army training is not in progress. The changes are effective from April 17, 2025, and have no significant environmental or economic impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made changes to the sky above a place called Fort Novosel to help soldiers practice better without making the sky area bigger. These new sky rules, starting April 17, 2025, make sure planes can still fly there when the soldiers aren't using it.

  • 2021-03849 — Proposed Amendment of R-2206 and Establishment of Restricted Areas R-2206B, R-2206C, R-2206D, R-2206E, R-2206F, and R-2206G; Clear, AK
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11194
    Reading Time:about 22 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to rename the existing restricted airspace area R-2206 to R-2206A and establish six new restricted areas—R-2206B to R-2206G—above the Clear Air Force Station in Clear, Alaska. These changes are to protect aircraft from high-intensity radiation from the Long Range Discrimination Radar, essential for the U.S. missile defense system. The proposal was requested by the U.S. Air Force to ensure aviation safety by segregating non-participating aircraft. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal before April 26, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make part of the sky over a military base in Alaska off-limits to regular planes like a no-fly zone to keep them safe from strong radar signals. They're asking people to share their thoughts on these changes until April 26, 2021.
