Amendment of Class E Airspace; Washington, DC

This action amends Class E airspace at Washington, DC. The development of multiple area navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) and the proliferation of airports within the metropolitan Washington, DC area with approved Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations and the resulting overlap of designated Class E-5 airspace have made this action necessary. This action consolidates the Class E-5 airspace designations for twenty four airports and results in the recision of twenty Class E-5 descriptions through separate rulemaking action. The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
