Airspace Docket No. 99-ACE-5
Abstract
This action amends the Class E airspace area at Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado Airport, El Dorado, KS. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY), 4 GPS RWY 15, GPS RWY 22, GPS RWY 33, and Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) RWY 4 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado Airport, KS. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate these SIAPs and for Instrumental Flight Rules (IFR) operations at this airport. The enlarged area will contain the new GPS RWY 4, GPS RWY 15, GPS RWY 22, GPS RWY 33, and NDB RWY 4 SIAPs in controlled airspace. In addition, a minor revision to the Airport Reference Point (ARP) geographic coordinates for the Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado 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 4, GPS RWY 15, GPS RWY 22, GPS RWY 33, and NDB RWY 4 SIAPs, revise the ARP coordinates for the Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado Airport, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
