Establishment of Class E Airspace; Port Angeles, WA; Port Angeles, WA
Document Number: 2020-14056
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-07-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action establishes a Class E surface area, Class E airspace as an extension to the surface area and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Port Angeles CGAS, Port Angeles, WA.
