Establishment of Class E Airspace at Van Nuys Airport; Van Nuys, CA

This action establishes a Class E Surface Area at the Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys, CA. The purpose of this action is to provide additional controlled airspace at this high-density airport during hours when the control tower is closed. A Class D Surface Area is in effect daily at Van Nuys Airport during the specific hours when Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) is operational. Van Nuys Class D Surface Area hours are published continuously in the Airport/Facility Directory, and existing Class D airspace will not change as a result of this action. However, this action to establish a Class E Surface Area eliminates Class G uncontrolled airspace at Van Nuys Airport during hours when the ATCT is closed.
