Abstract
This action amends Class D airspace at Melbourne International Airport, FL, by lowering the airspace ceiling from 2,500 feet above ground level (AGL) to 1,900 feet AGL. Due to the high number of overflying aircraft, in the interest of safety the airspace above 1,900 AGL has been delegated by the Melbourne Air Traffic Control Tower, which provides Visual Flight Rules (VFR) service to aircraft operating in the vicinity of the Melbourne International Airport, to the Daytona Beach Radar Approach Control Facility, which provides Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) air traffic control service to the Melbourne International Airport. This action also changes the name of the airport in the legal description from Melbourne Regional to Melbourne International Airport.
