Amendment to Class E Airspace; Atchison, KS

This action amends the Class E airspace area at Amelia Earhart Airport, Atchison, KS. A review of the airspace for Amelia Earhart Airport indicates it does not meet the criteria for 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) Class E airspace as required in FAA Order 7400.2D. The FAA has developed a VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) Runway (RWY) 16 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to serve the Amelia Earhart Airport. Additional controlled airspace 700 feet AGL is needed to accommodate this SIAP and comply with the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D. The enlarged area will contain the new VOR/DME RWY 16 SIAP in controlled airspace and comply with the requirements of FAA Order 7400.2D. The intended effect of this rule is to provide Class E airspace for instrument operations and comply with the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D.
