Amendment of Class E Airspace; Waynesburg, PA
Document Number: E8-10425
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-05-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends the Class E airspace area at Waynesburg, PA, to accommodate a new Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) that has been developed for Green County Airport. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) will be expanded to contain the SIAP and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Green County Airport. The operating status of the airport will change from Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to include IFR operations concurrent with the publication of the SIAP. A minor correction is also being made in the geographic position coordinates of the Green County Airport.
