    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule to modify several airspace classifications at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Bozeman, Montana. These modifications to Class D and Class E airspaces aim to improve safety and management of flight operations using both visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR). The proposed changes would involve expanding certain airspace areas, realigning specific extensions, and updating documentation. Public comments on this proposal are invited until March 10, 2025.
