The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to establish and modify airspace over North Dakota. This would create a domestic airspace area at 1,200 feet above the state and remove existing airspace regions at Harvey and Linton to improve air traffic control and support instrument flight rule (IFR) operations. The proposed changes are in response to requests from air traffic control centers in Salt Lake and Minneapolis. Public comments on this proposal are open until April 9, 2021, and must be submitted following specific guidelines provided by the FAA.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) corrected a typographic error in a previously published final rule regarding airspace establishment at Zeeland, MI. Originally released in the Federal Register on December 13, 2024, this rule mistakenly included duplicate state identifiers, including an incorrect “SD” identifier. The corrected rule now accurately reflects that Zeeland, MI airspace should be associated with Ottawa Executive Airport, MI. This ensures that navigational data is accurate for implementation by April 17, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delayed the effective date of a rule originally set to establish Class E airspace at Rose Hill, Kansas. This action, published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2024, was postponed from December 26, 2024, to February 20, 2025, to align with the FAA's charting schedules. This change does not involve any substantive modifications to the rule, and the FAA deemed public notice and comment unnecessary due to the brief delay.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish Class E airspace at Mott Municipal Airport in Mott, North Dakota. This rule aims to support new public instrument procedures and facilitate instrument flight rule (IFR) operations. It becomes effective on June 12, 2025, and includes a correction to a typographic error noted in a prior document regarding the location name. The rule is considered a routine update of technical regulations with no significant economic or environmental impact anticipated.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish Class E airspace at Stanford/Biggerstaff Field in Stanford, Montana. This new airspace will extend upward from 700 feet above the ground, helping facilitate both departing and arriving flights using instrument flight rules (IFR) by providing a safer and more efficient airspace structure. The rule will be effective starting August 7, 2025, and does not have a significant economic impact or environmental concerns. The change aids the airport’s transition from visual to instrument navigation, enhancing safety and efficiency for aircraft operations.
