## Abstract

This action amends the Class E airspace area at Thomas County Airport, Thedford, NE. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 11, GPS RWY 29, and VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) RWY 11, Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Thomas County Airport, NE. 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 11, GPS RWY 29, and VOR RWY 11 SIAPs in controlled airspace. The old Thomas County Airport was closed and a new Thomas County Airport was constructed approximately 2 miles farther west. Therefore, a new Airport Reference Point (ARP) was established and is included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 11, GPS RWY 29, and VOR RWY 11 SIAPSs, amend the ARP, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
