✈️Proposed Airspace Amendments Impacting Wichita, KS Aviation
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace, Establishment of Class E Airspace, and Revocation of Class E; Wichita, KS
Summary
This action proposes to amend the Class D and Class E airspace, establish Class E airspace, and revoke Class E airspace at Wichita, KS. The name of Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, Wichita, KS; the geographic coordinates of Augusta Municipal Airport, Augusta, KS; and the name and geographic coordinates of the McConnell AFB, Wichita, KS, and the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower Intl: RWY 01R- LOC would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. The FAA is proposing these actions to accommodate a U.S. Air Force request to change the McConnell AFB Class D airspace from full- time to part-time and establish part-time Class E surface airspace and the associated airspace reviews conducted to accommodate this request. This action will bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and support instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.
