Summary

This action proposes to modify Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Felts Field Airport, Spokane, WA. After a biennial review, the FAA found it necessary to amend existing airspace and establish new controlled airspace for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at this airport. This action also would make a minor editorial change to the airspace designation and would replace the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement. The Class D and Class E surface areas would be extended to the Spokane International Airport Class C surface area on the southwest and expanded 1.2 miles on the northeast. The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface would be established to provide airspace for aircraft transitioning to and from Felts Field airport.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
