Summary

This action proposes to establish Class E surface airspace for St Simons Island Airport, St Simons, GA, and for Brunswick Golden Isles Airport, Brunswick, GA, and amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Brunswick, GA, to accommodate airspace reconfiguration due to the airport's names and cities requiring updates. Also, this action proposes to remove Class E surface airspace listed as Brunswick Glynco Jetport, GA, and Brunswick Malcolm- McKinnon Airport, GA in the FAA's 7400.11C. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport, (formally Brunswick Malcolm-McKinnon Airport). In addition, this action proposes to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in the Brunswick area by updating the name and geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport and Brunswick Golden Isles Airport.
