## Abstract

This action modifies the Class E airspace at Carthersville, MO. The FAA has developed Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 36 ORIGINAL Standard Instrument Approach procedure (SIAP), RNAV (GPS) RWY 18 ORIGINAL SIAP and VHF Omni- directional Range (VOR)/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) RWY 18 ORIGINAL SIAP to serve Caruthersville Memorial Airport, Caruthersville, MO. Current Class E airspace at Caruthersville, MO was designed to contain these SIAPs. A recent survey has established a new Airport Reference Point (ARP) for Caruthersville Memorial Airport. This requires that controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at Caruthersville, MO be redefined in order to accommodate the SIAPs. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing the SIAPs and to aggregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
