Register of February 8, 2016, amending the Class E surface area
airspace and Class E airspace designated as an extension at Wilmington

Airmen (NOTAM) language inadvertently removed to the Class E surface
area description. The geographic coordinates and airport name of
Wilmington Air Park in Class D and E airspace, and in Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface are added to the rule.
The Title is also amended to include Class D airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E
airspace at Wilmington Air Park, Wilmington, OH, (81 FR 6450, February
8, 2016) Docket No. FAA-2015-7486. Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found in amending the airport name and airport reference point for the
airport, additional existing controlled airspace was inadvertently
omitted from the rule. This action adds adjustment of the geographic
coordinates in Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the Earth at Wilmington Air
Park.
The FAA also determined that the part-time NOTAM language in the
Class E surface area description was inadvertently removed in error.
Potential safety concerns were identified due to the possibility for
confusion in determining the operating rules and equipment requirements
in the Wilmington Air Park terminal area. The concerns were based on
the opportunity for part-time Class D surface area airspace and
continuous Class E surface area airspace to be active at the same time.
To resolve these concerns, the FAA is keeping the part-time NOTAM
language
[[Page 19485]]
in the Class E surface area description to retain it as part-time
airspace supplementing the existing part-time Class D surface area
airspace at Wilmington Air Park. The regulatory text is rewritten for
clarity.
