Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Olive Branch, MS and Amendment of Class E Airspace; Memphis, TN

This action establishes Class D and E4 airspace at Olive Branch, MS. A federal contract tower with a weather reporting system has been constructed at the Olive Branch Airport. Therefore, the airport meets criteria for Class D and E4 airspace. Class D surface area airspace and Class E4 airspace designated as an extension to Class D airspace is required when the control tower is open to contain Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action establishes Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to but not including 2,900 feet MSL, within a 4-mile radius of the Olive Branch Airport and Class E4 airspace extensions that are 5 miles wide and extend 7 miles northeast and south of the airport. This action also amends the Class E5 airspace area for Memphis, TN, which includes the Olive Branch Airport, to contain the Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) or Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 18 and RWY 36 SIAPs. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the procedure turn airspace area.
