Establishment of Class D and E Airspace, Amendment of Class E Airspace; New Smyrna Beach, FL

This action establishes Class D and Class E4 airspace and amends Class E5 airspace at New Smyrna Beach, FL. A federal contract tower with a weather reporting system is being constructed at the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport. Therefore, the airport will meet the criteria for establishment of Class D and Class 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 existing Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action will establish Class D airspace extending upward from the surface, to but not including 1,200 feet MSL, within a 3.2-mile radius of the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport and a Class E4 airspace extension that is 5 miles wide and extends 7 miles southeast of the airport. A regional evaluation has determined the existing Class E5 airspace area should be amended to contain the Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) or Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 29 SIAP. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) needed to contain the SIAP will increase from a 6.5- mile radius of the airport to a 6.6-mile radius of the airport and provide for the procedure turn area.
