Proposed Modification of Class E Airspace; Mankato, MN

This proposed rule would modify Class E airspace at Mankato, MN. A Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 22 and a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) or GPS SIAP to RWY 33 have been developed for Mankato Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing these approaches. This proposal would increase the radius of the surface area and add an extension to the northeast for the existing controlled airspace. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather conditions.
