Abstract
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR 71) by changing the title of "Lexington, Lexington/Jim Kelly Field, NE" Class E airspace area to "Lexington, NE" and by revising this Class E airspace area. Two area navigation (RNAV) global positioning system (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures (SIAPs), one very high frequency omni-directional range (VOR) SIAP and one nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) SIAP have been developed to serve Jim Kelly Field. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Lexington, NE does not adequately protect for diverse departures. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing and executing SIAPs to Jim Kelly Field and to title the airspace area appropriately. It enlarges the Lexington, NE Class E airspace area, increases the width of the airspace extension and brings the airspace area and legal description into compliance with FAA Orders.
