The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to adjust the Class E airspace around Blanding Municipal Airport in Utah. This proposal aims to create new Class E airspace from 700 feet above the ground while removing existing Class E airspace that begins at 1,200 feet, which has become unnecessary due to other airspace coverage. The changes are meant to improve the airport's operations, particularly for instrument flight rules (IFR), and include updates to the airport's legal description. The public is invited to comment on this proposal by February 21, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The people at the airport in Blanding, Utah, want to change how high airplanes can fly in a special sky zone so they can fly better in bad weather. They are asking everyone to tell them what they think about this plan.
