Abstract
This action amends the Class E airspace area at Meade Municipal Airport, Meade, KS. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 17, GPS RWY 35, and Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) RWY 17 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Meade Municipal Airport, KS. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate these SIAPs and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at this airport. The enlarged area will contain the new GPS RWY 17, GPS RWY 35, and NDB RWY 17 SIAPs in controlled airspace. In addition, a minor revision to the geographic coordinates for the Airport Reference Point (ARP) is included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 17, GPS RWY 35, and NDB RWY 17 SIAPs, revise the coordinates for the Meade Municipal Airport ARP, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
