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.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make part of the sky over a military base in Alaska off-limits to regular planes like a no-fly zone to keep them safe from strong radar signals. They're asking people to share their thoughts on these changes until April 26, 2021.
