Amendment of Class E Airspace Over Staunton, VA

What it does

This action proposes to amend Class E airspace over Staunton, VA. This action would expand that portion of the Staunton, VA Class E5 airspace extending to the northwest of Bridgewater Air Park from "within 1.5 miles either side of the 338[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 8.3-mile radius to 10 miles northwest of the airport" to "within 3.2 miles each side of the 329[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 8.3-mile radius to 15.2 miles northwest of the airport." This modification is necessary to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations utilizing new special instrument approach procedures at Bridgewater Air Park. This action also proposes to update the geographic coordinates for Bridgewater Air Park, Bridgewater, VA in the Staunton, VA Class E5 airspace legal description.
