Proposed Modification of Class D and Class E Airspace; Kailua-Kona, HI

This action proposes to modify Class D and E airspace at Kona International Airport at Keahole, Kailua-Kona, HI. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or Localizer (LOC) standard instrument approach procedures at the airport. The geographic coordinates of the airport also would be adjusted in the respective Class D and E airspace areas, and the airport name will be corrected to Kona International Airport at Keahole. This action, initiated by the biennial review of the Kona airspace area, would enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at the airport.
