Abstract
This action amends the Class E airspace area at Belle Plaine Municipal Airport, Belle Plaine, IA. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 17 and GPS RWY 35 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Belle Plaine Municipal Airport, IA. 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 and GPS RWY 35 SIAPs in controlled airspace. In addition, the Class E airspace area is revised to indicate a minor revision to the Airport Reference Point (ARP) coordinates, and is included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing GPS RWY 17 and GPS RWY 35 SIAPs, revise the ARP coordinates, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
