The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to the Class E airspace at Iron Mountain/Kingsford, MI, due to the decommissioning of the Iron Mountain VOR, as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. These changes aim to bring the airspace in line with FAA orders and improve safety and efficiency for instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures. Public comments are invited until June 9, 2025, and individuals can provide feedback through various methods, including an online portal or mailing. This proposal features updates such as reducing the radius of certain airspace areas and adjusting terminology to align with current standards.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to change some flying rules over Iron Mountain, MI, because a special navigation tool won't be used anymore. They hope these changes will make flying there safer and want to know what people think about it by June 9, 2025.
