This change does not involve any substantive modifications to the rule, and the FAA deemed public notice and comment unnecessary due to the brief delay.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish Class E airspace above Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard, NC. This airspace extends upward from 700 feet within a 6-mile radius of the hospital's heliport. The purpose of this action is to support new GPS-based navigation procedures, ensuring the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. The rule is not expected to have a significant impact on the economy or the environment.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to establish Class E airspace at Challis Airport in Idaho. This change supports the airport's shift from visual flight rules (VFR) to instrument flight rules (IFR), enhancing safety and operational efficiency. The airspace would start from 700 feet above the ground and extend in a specific configuration around the airport. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until February 3, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to update the airspace at Flagstaff Pullman Airport in Flagstaff, AZ. This rule modifies Class D airspace by reducing its radius and updates terms like "Notice to Airmen" to "Notice to Air Missions." It also establishes a new Class E airspace extension and removes unnecessary sections of Class E airspace. These changes are intended to support safe and efficient instrument flight operations without significant environmental or economic impact.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to update the Class E airspace at Prairie Du Chien Municipal Airport in Wisconsin. This change involves reducing the radius of airspace from 9.3 miles to 6.6 miles and adding specific extensions from the airport in certain directions. The adjustments are necessary following the removal of a navigation aid and are part of the FAA's ongoing effort to manage airspace efficiently while ensuring safety. These revisions have been deemed noncontroversial and are not expected to have significant economic or environmental impacts.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a correction to a previous rule about airspace in Austin, TX. Initially, a typographical error was made in the header section of the rule, where it mistakenly read "ASW AR E3" instead of "ASW TX E3." This correction clarifies the establishment of Class E airspace for Austin and its surrounding areas, ensuring that the rule is accurately represented in the Federal Register. The corrected rule will take effect on June 12, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed changes to the airspace at Great Falls International Airport in Montana. The proposal includes modifying Class E airspace in various ways to improve the management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. This involves reducing the size of certain airspace areas and removing unnecessary references, such as the Great Falls VORTAC and Malmstrom AFB, from airspace descriptions. These changes aim to enhance safety and efficiency in airspace management around the airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule amending Class E airspace at Presque Isle International Airport in Maine. This rule updates the airport's name, adds AR Gould Hospital Heliport to related documentation, and aligns geographic coordinates with FAA databases. These changes are made to ensure safety and efficient use of airspace but do not affect the existing airspace boundaries or operating requirements. The rule takes effect on April 17, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule affecting the airspace around Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport in Gillette, WY. This rule eliminates the Class D airspace, creates a new Class E surface area, and modifies existing Class E airspace to better support departing and arriving aircraft. These changes are intended to enhance safety following the permanent closure of the airport's control tower. The FAA determined that this rule does not have significant economic or environmental impacts.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish Class E airspace at Stanford/Biggerstaff Field in Stanford, Montana. This new airspace will extend upward from 700 feet above the ground, helping facilitate both departing and arriving flights using instrument flight rules (IFR) by providing a safer and more efficient airspace structure. The rule will be effective starting August 7, 2025, and does not have a significant economic impact or environmental concerns. The change aids the airport’s transition from visual to instrument navigation, enhancing safety and efficiency for aircraft operations.
