This notice proposes to amend the Class E airspace area in the Harrisburg, PA metropolitan area. The development of multiple area navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) for numerous airports within the Harrisburg, PA metropolitan area with approved Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations and the resulting overlap of designated Class E-5 airspace have made this proposal necessary. The proposal would consolidate the Class E-5 airspace designations for ten airports and result in the rescission of seven separate Class E-5 descriptions through separate rulemaking action. The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
