Background
Mountain Home AFB RAPCON works
daily with Salt Lake ARTCC,
transferring traffic between the facilities’
airspace areas. The RAPCON’s airspace
has been charted into the ARTCC
mapping file structure and extended to
join with the Owyhee MOA boundary to
the southwest of Mountain Home AFB.
This wedge of airspace is outside the
current 40 DME arc from the Mountain
Home TACAN which accommodated
the former approach control boundary
to the southwest. The 46 DME arc brings
that wedge into Class E airspace and is
a fluid transition from adjoining Class E
airspace along V113 to the southwest
and around to V253 to the southeast,
incorporating the northern portion of
the Jarbridge MOA, accommodating the
terminal environment transition and
making control procedures more
operationally efficient.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to revise the Class E
airspace area with a base altitude of
1,200 feet AGL in the vicinity of
Mountain Home AFB, ID. Class E
airspace is used to transition to and
from the terminal or enroute
environment, allowing a buffer for
arriving and departing IFR aircraft from
uncontrolled to controlled airspace. A
review of the airspace in southern Idaho
revealed a large area of uncontrolled
(Glass G) airspace immediately adjacent
to the (controlled) Class E airspace
currently utilized by Mountain Home
AFB RAPCON. Because this airspace is
Class G below 14,500 feet mean sea
level (MSL), Mountain Home AFB
RAPCON does not have the authority to
initiate IFR (Instrument Flight Rules)
control instructions and vector aircraft
transferred to them from Salt Lake
ARTCC. IFR operations can take place
in Class G, but the ability of the
approach control to provide vectors, as
an example, should not happen until
within the confines of the approach
control delegated airspace. The 46 DME
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:09 Aug 18, 2006
Jkt 208001
arc provides for this buffer where
transition from Class G to E can take
place (arrival or departure), and allows
the approach control in question to
provide that vector within Class E. The
Mountain Home AFB RAPCON airspace
extends only to the 40 DME arc, and
therefore, has no safe buffer currently
established.
The proposed airspace revision
incorporates into Class E airspace that
portion of Mountain Home AFB
RAPCON delegated airspace that was
extended to join with the Owyhee MOA
boundary to the Southwest of Mountain
Home AFB. This wedge of airspace is
outside the current 40 DME arc from the
Mountain Home TACAN, which
accommodated the former approach
control boundary to the southwest.
In addition, the 6500 feet MSL Class
E airspace to the southeast within the
Jarbridge Military Operations Area
(MOA) will be incorporated into this
1200 foot AGL Class E airspace. Neither
Mountain Home AFB RAPCON nor Salt
Lake ARTCC utilize this airspace at
6500 feet MSL, and containing it at 1200
feet AGL will allow Mountain Home
AFB RAPCON to vector aircraft to
Jarbridge MOA at lower altitudes.
Class E enroute domestic airspace
areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1,
2005, and effective September 15, 2005,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document
would be published subsequently in
this Order.

Background
Mountain Home AFB RAPCON works daily with Salt Lake ARTCC,
transferring traffic between the facilities' airspace areas. The
RAPCON's airspace has been charted into the ARTCC mapping file
structure and extended to join with the Owyhee MOA boundary to the
southwest of Mountain Home AFB. This wedge of airspace is outside the
current 40 DME arc from the Mountain Home TACAN which accommodated the
former approach control boundary to the southwest. The 46 DME arc
brings that wedge into Class E airspace and is a fluid transition from
adjoining Class E airspace along V113 to the southwest and around to
V253 to the southeast, incorporating the northern portion of the
Jarbridge MOA, accommodating the terminal environment transition and
making control procedures more operationally efficient.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to revise the Class E airspace area with a
base altitude of 1,200 feet AGL in the vicinity of Mountain Home AFB,
ID. Class E airspace is used to transition to and from the terminal or
enroute environment, allowing a buffer for arriving and departing IFR
aircraft from uncontrolled to controlled airspace. A review of the
airspace in southern Idaho revealed a large area of uncontrolled (Glass
G) airspace immediately adjacent to the (controlled) Class E airspace
currently utilized by Mountain Home AFB RAPCON. Because this airspace
is Class G below 14,500 feet mean sea level (MSL), Mountain Home AFB
RAPCON does not have the authority to initiate IFR (Instrument Flight
Rules) control instructions and vector aircraft transferred to them
from Salt Lake ARTCC. IFR operations can take place in Class G, but the
ability of the approach control to provide vectors, as an example,
should not happen until within the confines of the approach control
delegated airspace. The 46 DME arc provides for this buffer where
transition from Class G to E can take place (arrival or departure), and
allows the approach control in question to provide that vector within
Class E. The Mountain Home AFB RAPCON airspace extends only to the 40
DME arc, and therefore, has no safe buffer currently established.
The proposed airspace revision incorporates into Class E airspace
that portion of Mountain Home AFB RAPCON delegated airspace that was
extended to join with the Owyhee MOA boundary to the Southwest of
Mountain Home AFB. This wedge of airspace is outside the current 40 DME
arc from the Mountain Home TACAN, which accommodated the former
approach control boundary to the southwest.
In addition, the 6500 feet MSL Class E airspace to the southeast
within the Jarbridge Military Operations Area (MOA) will be
incorporated into this 1200 foot AGL Class E airspace. Neither Mountain
Home AFB RAPCON nor Salt Lake ARTCC utilize this airspace at 6500 feet
MSL, and containing it at 1200 feet AGL will allow Mountain Home AFB
RAPCON to vector aircraft to Jarbridge MOA at lower altitudes.
Class E enroute domestic airspace areas are published in Paragraph
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective
September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be
