  • 2021-03905 — Amendment of Class E Airspace; Cambridge, NE
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11626
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule modifying the Class E airspace over Cambridge Municipal Airport in Nebraska. This change involves expanding the airspace radius from 6.4 miles to 7.5 miles and correcting the geographical coordinates to better manage flights using instrument flight rules (IFR). Additionally, it involves removing a navigation aid called the Harry Strunk NDB, which is no longer needed. The FAA determined these updates would not significantly impact the environment or small businesses.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA decided to make the sky space around a Nebraska airport a bit bigger to help airplanes fly safely, like giving planes more room to play. They also took away an old tool they didn't need anymore, like cleaning up a toy box.
