## Abstract

New and amended Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been developed to serve Springfield-Branson Regional Airport, Springfield, MO. The Springfield-Branson Regional Airport airport reference point (ARP) has been redefined. These actions require modifications to Springfield, MO controlled airspace in order to provide airspace required for diverse departures and to protect aircraft executing SIAPs to Springfield-Branson Regional Airport. An examination of controlled airspace for Springfield, MO revealed discrepancies in the legal descriptions for the Springfield, MO Class E3 and Class E5 airspace areas. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing from and executing SIAPs to Springfield-Branson Regional Airport. The Class E5 area is enlarged, discrepancies in the legal descriptions of Springfield, MO Class E3 and Class E5 airspace areas are corrected and the airspace areas and their legal descriptions are brought into compliance with FAA Orders.
