Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Muscatine, IA

This document proposes to amend the Class E airspace area at Muscatine Municipal Airport, Muscatine, IA. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 6 and VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) RWY 24 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Muscatine Municipal Airport, IA. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is necessary to accommodate these SIAPs and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at this airport. The area will contain the GPS RWY 6 and VOR RWY 24 in controlled airspace. In addition, a minor revision to the geographic coordinates for the Muscatine Airport Reference Point (ARP) and Port City VOR/DME are included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 6 and VOR RWY 24 SIAPs, revise the coordinates for the Muscatine Municipal Airport ARP and Port City VOR/DME, and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
