Proposed Amendment of Class D and
E Airspace; Kansas City, MO; and
Revocation of Class E Airspace;
Kansas City, MO
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
This action proposes to
amend Class D airspace at Charles B.
Wheeler Downtown Airport, Kansas
City, MO; remove Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Charles B. Wheeler
Downtown Airport; and amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Kansas City
International Airport, Kansas City, MO,
and Charles B. Wheeler Downtown
Airport. The FAA is proposing this
action due to the decommissioning of
the Riverside VHF omnidirectional
range (VOR) facility, which provided
navigation guidance for the instrument
procedures to Charles B. Wheeler
Downtown Airport. The VOR has been
decommissioned as part of the VOR
Minimum Operational Network (MON)
Program. This action also would amend
the airspace designations of Class D
airspace and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
for these airports. Additionally, the
geographic coordinates and airport
name are being updated to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is necessary for the safety
and management of instrument flight
rules (IFR) operations at these airports.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 19, 2018.

proposal to the U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority
described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would
support IFR operations at Charles B.
Wheeler Downtown Airport, and Kansas
City International Airport, Kansas City,
MO.

supporting the views and suggestions
presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory
decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the proposal.

airport; and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
Remove the Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Charles B. Wheeler
Downtown Airport as the airspace is no
longer required; and
Amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Kansas City, MO, by updating the
header of the airspace designation to
Kansas City, MO, (from Kansas City
International Airport, MO) to comply
with FAA Order 7400.2L; updating the
name and geographic coordinates of
Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport
(previously Kansas City Downtown
Airport) and the geographic coordinates
of Sherman Army Airfield (AAF), KS, to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; removing the Kansas City
VORTAC, DOTTE LOM, Riverside VOR/
DME, ILS RWY 19R localizer, ILS RWY
19 localizer, ILS RWY 1L localizer, and
ILS RWY 1R localizer from the airspace
description; removing all current
extensions at Kansas City International
Airport and Charles B. Wheeler
Downtown Airport; and adding an
extension 2 miles each side of the 215°
bearing from the Charles B. Wheeler
Downtown RWY 03 LOC from the 6.7mile radius to 8.7 miles south of the

management of IFR operations at these
airports.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in paragraphs 5000, 6004,
and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order

Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current, is noncontroversial and unlikely to result in
adverse or negative comments. It,
therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February
26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as
the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed rule, when promulgated,
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace at Charles B.
Wheeler Downtown Airport, Kansas City, MO; remove Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D airspace at Charles B. Wheeler
Downtown Airport; and amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Kansas City International Airport, Kansas
City, MO, and Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport. The FAA is proposing
this action due to the decommissioning of the Riverside VHF
omnidirectional range (VOR) facility, which provided navigation
guidance for the instrument procedures to Charles B. Wheeler Downtown
Airport. The VOR has been decommissioned as part of the VOR Minimum
Operational Network (MON) Program. This action also would amend the
airspace designations of Class D airspace and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for these airports.
Additionally, the geographic coordinates and airport name are being
updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action
is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at these airports.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 that would:
Amend the Class D airspace at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport
by
[[Page 4612]]
updating the header of the airspace designation to Kansas City, MO,
(from Kansas City Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, MO) to comply
with FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters;
adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 012[deg] bearing from the
Charles B. Wheeler Downtown RWY 19 LOC from the 4.2-mile radius to 4.4
miles from the airport; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the
013[deg] bearing from the airport from the 4.2-mile radius to 4.3 miles
north of the airport; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the
215[deg] bearing from the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown RWY 03 LOC from
the 4.2-mile radius to 4.5 miles northeast of the airport; adding an
extension 1 mile each side of the 218[deg] bearing from the airport
from the 4.2-mile radius to 5 miles south of the airport; and updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database;
Remove the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport as the airspace is no
longer required; and
Amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Kansas City, MO, by updating the header of the airspace
designation to Kansas City, MO, (from Kansas City International
Airport, MO) to comply with FAA Order 7400.2L; updating the name and
geographic coordinates of Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport
(previously Kansas City Downtown Airport) and the geographic
coordinates of Sherman Army Airfield (AAF), KS, to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database; removing the Kansas City VORTAC, DOTTE
LOM, Riverside VOR/DME, ILS RWY 19R localizer, ILS RWY 19 localizer,
ILS RWY 1L localizer, and ILS RWY 1R localizer from the airspace
description; removing all current extensions at Kansas City
International Airport and Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport; and
adding an extension 2 miles each side of the 215[deg] bearing from the
Charles B. Wheeler Downtown RWY 03 LOC from the 6.7-mile radius to 8.7
miles south of the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Riverside VOR as part of the VOR MON Program and for the safety and
management of IFR operations at these airports.
Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraphs
5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August
3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
