Amendment to Class E Airspace; Emporia, KS

This action amends the Class E airspace areas at Emporia Municipal Airport, Emporia, KS. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 1, GPS RWY 19, VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) Area Navigation (RNAV) RWY 19, and amended the VOR or GPS-A Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Emporia Municipal Airport, KS. The Development of these SIAPs has resulted in a slight reduction in the Class E surface area. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate these SIAPs, however the extensions to the north and southeast have been eliminated. The enlarged Class E area will contain the new GPS RWY 1, GPS RWY 19, VOR/DME RNAV RWY 19, and VOR or GPS-A SIAPs in controlled airspace. In addition, a minor revision to the Airport Reference Point (ARP) geographic coordinates for the Emporia Municipal Airport is included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 1, GPS RWY 19, VOR/DME RNAV RWY 19, and VOR or GPS-A SIAPs, revise the ARP coordinates for the Emporia Municipal Airport, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
