  • 2020-29319 — Proposed Amendment of Class E airspace; Great Falls, MT
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 3891
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    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

    The people who help planes fly safely want to change some invisible boundaries in the sky near an airport in Montana to make flying better. They're also taking away some old markers that aren't needed anymore.

  • 2021-03842 — Amendment and Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; South-Central Florida Metroplex Project
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10808
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes two existing low altitude RNAV (area navigation) routes and introduces nine new ones to support the South-Central Florida Metroplex Project. These changes aim to reduce reliance on ground-based navigation systems and improve efficiency in the National Airspace System. The adjustments, effective April 22, 2021, are intended to enhance air traffic procedures without significant regulatory or environmental impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made some changes to the flight paths planes use in the sky above South-Central Florida so that planes can fly more smoothly using satellites instead of relying too much on ground signals. This helps planes get where they're going faster and more efficiently.

  • 2025-03681 — Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11475
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule to update certain aviation procedures at various airports. This rule involves adjustments to Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS), Takeoff Minimums, and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) due to new criteria and changes in the National Airspace System, ensuring safety and efficiency for flights. These updates, based on the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS), sometimes need to be effective in less than 30 days, especially if they address immediate safety concerns. The changes are not considered significant regulatory actions and are intended to maintain current operational standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making some changes to flight rules at certain airports to help planes take off and land safely, just like how new rules might make a playground safer. These changes happen quickly if needed, especially if there are safety concerns, and are meant to make sure airplanes continue to fly smoothly and safely.
