✈️FAA Proposes New Restricted Airspace Areas in North Carolina
Establishment of Restricted Areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C; Camp Lejeune, NC; and Restricted Areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C; Cherry Point, NC
Summary
This action revises an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that the FAA published in Federal Register on March 20, 2025, by correcting the geographic coordinates of a boundary point in proposed restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C; Camp Lejeune, NC. This action continues to propose restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R- 5307C; Cherry Point, NC. The purpose of this proposal is to create additional restricted area airspace to connect restricted area R-5003, R-5004, and R-5306 complexes to contain hazardous activities such as weapon deployment, non-eye safe lasers, and artillery within larger contiguous restricted area airspace that is required to realistically simulate essential training mission tasks.
