Reading Time:about 6 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to change the Class E airspace at Wharton Regional Airport in Texas. These changes are required because the Wharton non-directional beacon (NDB) is being decommissioned, which affects navigation at the airport. Additionally, the proposal includes updating the airport’s name and geographical coordinates to align with the FAA's database. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal by March 1, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to change some flying rules at a small airport in Texas because an old tool for helping planes navigate is going away. They also want to make sure the airport's information is up-to-date.
