The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule amending, suspending, or removing certain Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and related Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for specific airports. These changes are in response to revised criteria and various updates in the National Airspace System, like new navigational facilities and air traffic adjustments, to ensure safe flight operations under instrument flight rules. The amendments are effective February 3, 2025, and are considered routine adjustments that do not have significant economic impacts.

They want everyone to be safe, so these new rules start soon!
