The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a final rule changing the Class E airspace around Greater Kankakee Airport in Illinois. This change is due to a review triggered by the shutting down of the Kankakee VOR navigation aid, part of a larger program. The modification alters the size and structure of the airspace to enhance safety and efficiency at the airport. The rule is designed to be non-controversial, with minimal impact on small businesses, and doesn't require a detailed environmental review.
Simple Explanation
The FAA made changes to the airspace around an airport in Kankakee, Illinois because they stopped using an old navigation system. This makes flying safer and easier there.
