The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established new Class E airspace in Ashley, ND, due to the development of new public instrument procedures at Ashley Municipal Airport. This action aims to support Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations by extending airspace starting from 700 feet above the ground within a 7.2-mile radius of the airport. The rule becomes effective on April 17, 2025, and was determined not to have a significant economic or environmental impact.
Simple Explanation
The FAA has made a special sky area near the Ashley Municipal Airport in North Dakota so airplanes can fly safely using special flight rules. This new sky area, like a giant invisible bubble, helps pilots follow certain paths in the air, and it starts on April 17, 2025.
