Federal Aviation Administration August 14, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FAA is considering a proposal to change 69.784 acres of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Indianapolis International Airport, Indianapolis, Indiana. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The land consists of 6 original airport acquired parcels. The parcels were acquired under grants 3-18-0038-017 and local funding. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the Indianapolis Airport Authority to dispose of the property. The land is not needed for future aeronautical development.

This action proposes to establish Class E surface airspace for St Simons Island Airport, St Simons, GA, and for Brunswick Golden Isles Airport, Brunswick, GA, and amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Brunswick, GA, to accommodate airspace reconfiguration due to the airport's names and cities requiring updates. Also, this action proposes to remove Class E surface airspace listed as Brunswick Glynco Jetport, GA, and Brunswick Malcolm- McKinnon Airport, GA in the FAA's 7400.11C. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport, (formally Brunswick Malcolm-McKinnon Airport). In addition, this action proposes to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in the Brunswick area by updating the name and geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport and Brunswick Golden Isles Airport.

This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
