Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Yuma, AZ

The proposed rule would amend the Class E airspace area at Yuma, AZ. The establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 17 and a GPS SIAP to RWY 21 R at Yuma Marine Corp Air Station (MCAS)-Yuma International Airport has made this proposal necessary. Additional controlled airspace areas extending upward from the surface, and from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) are needed to contain aircraft executing the approach. The intended effect of this proposal would be to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Yuma MCAS-Yuma International Airport, Yuma, AZ.
