Abstract
This notice revokes the Class E airspace for Saginaw, Harry W. Browne Airport, MI, and Saginaw, Tri-City Airport, MI, and establishes a single Class E airspace area for Saginaw, MI. The Class E airspace for Harry W. Browne Airport is largely encompassed by the Class E airspace for Tri-City Airport already. Further, the airport names for Harry W. Browne Airport and Tri-City Airport have recently changed, requiring renaming the Class E airspace areas. Harry W. Browne Airport is now called Saginaw County H.W. Browne Airport, and Tri-City Airport is now called MBS International Airport. In addition, a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP), 021 deg. helicopter point in space approach, has been developed for Saint Mary's Hospital Heliport, Saginaw, MI. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing this approach. This action combines the two existing Class E airspace areas into one Class E airspace area, renames the Class E airspace area to Sagniaw, MI, incorporates the new airport names, and increases the size of the new airspace area slightly in order to include the point in space approach serving Saint Mary's Hospital Heliport.
