The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to establish Class E airspace at Stanford/Biggerstaff Field in Stanford, MT. This proposal aims to help the airport switch from visual flight rules (VFR) to instrument flight rules (IFR) operations by creating designated airspace starting 700 feet above ground level within a specific radius of the airport. Comments on this proposal can be submitted until January 24, 2025. The FAA notes this change will not have a significant economic impact and will undergo an environmental review before final implementation.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a final rule that changes air navigation routes in Alaska. Specifically, the FAA is amending RNAV Route Q-8 and revoking RNAV Route Q-18 to solve issues with automated flight plans. The new changes will help ensure the safe and efficient flow of air traffic. This update is considered a regular adjustment with minimal environmental or economic impact and is classified under existing rules for modifying airspace routes.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that updates the Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and related Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for certain airports. This is necessary due to new criteria, changes in the National Airspace System, and other operational changes. These updates are meant to ensure safe and efficient flight operations. The FAA confirms that this regulation isn't a major change and won’t significantly impact small entities.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend and establish certain airspace areas in Fort Riley, Manhattan, and Junction City, KS. These changes affect the Class D and Class E airspace around Marshall Army Airfield, Manhattan Regional Airport, and Freeman Field, and are due to the decommissioning of some navigation beacons. The updates include adjustments to airspace dimensions and extensions, and corrections to geographic coordinates. The FAA clarifies that these changes do not alter current flight paths or altitudes used by aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule affecting the airspace around Centennial Airport in Denver, Colorado. The rule modifies the Class D airspace boundaries and revokes the Class E airspace extension. These changes aim to better support both instrument and visual flight operations. Additionally, the airport's legal description has been updated to reflect Denver as the correct city and adjusted the geographic coordinates.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule aimed at improving safety for certain Boeing 767 airplane models. This is in response to significant changes in limitations related to preventing fuel tank ignition and updating the nitrogen generation system. The proposed rule would require changes to maintenance programs for these aircraft to address potential safety hazards. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal by April 12, 2021.

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.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public comments on its plan to renew the information collection required for certifying air carriers and commercial operators under Federal Aviation Regulation part 119. Organizations seeking certification must report necessary information, which the FAA uses to ensure compliance with aviation regulations. Public comments on the necessity, accuracy, and ways to improve or reduce the burden of the information collection are invited until March 22, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is asking for public comments on its plan to renew an information collection. This collection will gather feedback from people who interact with the FAA, aiming to improve accessibility and transparency. They are using what they call a Generic Clearance for Customer Interactions to support their mission. Those interested can submit comments by February 18, 2025, and the collection of information will happen on a voluntary basis.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a correction to a previous rule concerning updates to BasicMed, part of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. This correction amends a mistake where a rule on flight instructor certification inadvertently removed parts of the authority citation intended by the BasicMed updates. The correction ensures both regulatory changes are accurately reflected in the authority citation for part 61, which relates to the certification of pilots, flight instructors, and ground instructors. The correction took effect on December 27, 2024.
