Abstract
This action establishes Class E surface airspace at Tri-Cities Airport, Pasco, WA, to accommodate aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at Tri-Cities Airport, Pasco, WA. The geographic coordinates of Tri-Cities Airport and Vista Field Airport, Kennewick, WA, formerly called Vista Airport, are adjusted for existing Class D and E airspace. This action also makes a minor change to the legal description of the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D surface area. This improves the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
