Abstract
This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Portales Municipal Airport, Clovis, NM. Decommissioning of the Portales non-directional radio beacon (NDB), cancellation of NDB approaches at Portales Municipal Airport, and implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also updates the geographic coordinates for Portales Municipal Airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
