Amendment to Class E Airspace; Pittsburg, KS

This action amends the Class E airspace area at Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS. The FAA has developed Area Navigation (RNAV) Runway (RWY) 3, RNAV RWY 16, RNAV RWY 21, RNAV RWY 34, and Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB)-A Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate these SIAPs and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at this airport. The enlarged area will contain the new RNAV RWY 3, RNAV RWY 16, RNAV RWY 21, RNAV RWY 34, and NDB-A SIAPs in controlled airspace. In addition a minor revision to the Airport Reference Point (ARP) and NDB coordinates have been included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV RWY 3, RNAV RWY 16, RNAV RWY 21, RNAV RWY 34, and NDB-A SIAPs, revise the ARP and NDB coordinates, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
