  • 2021-02065 — Revocation and Amendment of Class E airspace; Bucholz Army Airfield Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10801
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend the airspace at Bucholz Army Airfield in Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands. This rule removes the Class E airspace extension to Class D and adjusts the Class E airspace that starts from 700 feet above the ground, ensuring it doesn't go beyond 12 nautical miles from the Atoll's shoreline. The action is designed to align with international standards but is not expected to have any significant economic or environmental impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is changing the rules for the invisible "roads" that airplanes use in the sky above a tiny island. They are making sure these paths don't go too far into areas where different countries' rules apply, so everything stays organized and safe.

  • 2025-01453 — Revocation of the Kwajalein Island Class D and Class E Airspace in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 7994
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule revoking the Class D and Class E airspace in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) because the RMI is a sovereign nation, and the FAA does not have the authority to regulate its airspace as per Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Although this airspace was originally established when the United States had authority over the area, it was never revoked following the 1986 Compact of Free Association that recognized RMI's sovereignty. This rule addresses that oversight, and the change is considered routine with minimal impact. The rule is effective on April 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is like the boss of airplane rules in the U.S., but it can't make rules about the skies over the Marshall Islands anymore because that's a separate country. They used to have these rules because the U.S. used to manage that area, but now they're just officially saying it's up to the Marshall Islands to decide.
