Amendment and Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Concord, NC
This action amends Class D airspace, establishes Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, and amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, Concord, NC. The FAA is taking this action as a result of the Charlotte Class B Biennial Review. This action also updates the airport's name to Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (formerly Concord Regional Airport). In addition, this action updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's database. This action also makes an editorial change replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D airspace. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) in the area.
