Modification of Class E Airspace at Denver International Airport, Colorado
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The FAA is modifying the Class E airspace structure at Denver International Airport (DEN) in Denver, Colorado. Specifically, the action reconfigures the Class E airspace that extends upward from 700 feet above the surface, adjusting its boundaries to better reflect current instrument approach procedures and navigation requirements. In addition to the 700-foot modification, the FAA is eliminating the separate Class E airspace designation that extended upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Denver International Airport. This removal streamlines the airspace structure in the area. The rule also includes an administrative correction to the legal description of the airport's Class E airspace — a technical update to ensure the written regulatory language accurately matches the intended airspace boundaries. These changes collectively support safe and efficient management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the Denver area.
