Proposed Establishment of Class D Airspace; Sacramento Mather Airport; Sacramento, CA

Résumé

This action proposes to establish a Class D surface area at Sacramento Mather Airport in Sacramento, CA. A Federal Contract Tower commenced operations at this location earlier this year on a full-time basis, twenty-four hours daily, seven days per week. The Sacramento Mather Airport routinely serves a large volume of air cargo traffic in addition to considerable general aviation activity during both visual and instrument flight conditions. Mather Tower controllers are officially certified as weather observers for this airport, and adequate communication facilities have been established. A review of current and projected operations and procedures at Sacramento Mather Airport fully supports the need for Class D airspace to enhance aviation safety, and in the interest of the commerce and welfare of the community. This action would establish Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 2,600 feet MSL within a 4.5- mile radius of Sacramento Mather Airport.
