The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed changes to the airspace at Great Falls International Airport in Montana. The proposal includes modifying Class E airspace in various ways to improve the management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. This involves reducing the size of certain airspace areas and removing unnecessary references, such as the Great Falls VORTAC and Malmstrom AFB, from airspace descriptions. These changes aim to enhance safety and efficiency in airspace management around the airport.
Simple Explanation
