Establishment of Class D and Class E Airspace: Fort Sill, OK

This action maintains the Class D airspace that was formerly a part of the Lawton, OK, Class D airspace, and establishes Class E airspace at Fort Sill, OK. Henry Post Army Airfield, Fort Sill, OK, was previously a satellite airport within the Lawton Class D airspace, Lawton, OK. The local aircraft operators requested and the FAA decided to divide the Lawton Class D airspace into two individual areas of Class D airspace; one area covering the Lawton Municipal Airport, Lawton, OK, and the other area covering Henry Post Army Airfield, Fort Sill, OK. Controlled airspace from the surface is needed at Fort Sill on a continuous basis for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at Henry Post Army Airfield. Therefore, during the hours the Fort Sill airport traffic control tower (ATCT) is in operation, Class D airspace will be in effect, and during hours the ATCT is non-operational, Class E airspace will be in effect. This action is intended to provide for more flexibility in airspace utilization and to provide control over each individual area of airspace, particularly during times when the towers are non-operational.
