## Abstract

This action amends the Class E airspace are at Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, KS. A review of the airspace for Belleville Municipal Airport indicates it does not meet the criteria for 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) Class E airspace as required in FAA Order 7400.2D. The distance required for an aircraft to reach 1200 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) is based on a standard climb gradient of 200 feet per mile, plus the distance from the Airport Reference Point (ARP) to the end of the outermost runway. Any fractional part of a mile is converted to the next higher tenth of a mile increment. The area has been enlarged to conform to the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing instrument approaches and to conform to the requirements of FAA Order 7400.2D.
