Reading Time:about 6 minutes
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.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to set up special flying rules at a small airport in Idaho to make it safer for planes to land and take off when the weather isn't clear. They also want to hear what people think about this idea until early next year.
