[Lucky_Chevy]

Looks like some new airspace is being proposed for our area. It shouldn't be a problem since it's Class E. Let me know if you have any concerns.

Federal Aviation Administration

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Selinsgrove, PA. A new area navigation (RNAV) global positioning system (GPS) standard instrument approach procedure has been developed at Penn Valley Airport, requiring airspace reconfiguration. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of the airport. DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 4, 2018.
