🇬🇧 English

The FAA has issued an administrative rule updating the official facility name associated with restricted airspace areas R-2103A, R-2103B, and R-2103C located over Fort Novosel in Alabama. The change reflects the military installation's prior renaming from Fort Rucker to Fort Novosel, and the rule brings airspace documentation into alignment with that updated designation. The using agency description for these restricted areas has also been updated to reflect the new facility name. No changes are made to the physical boundaries of the restricted airspace, nor are any new operational requirements or restrictions imposed on pilots or aircraft operators who use or transit through the affected airspace. This is a purely administrative and nomenclature update. Airspace users, flight planners, and operators should update their references to reflect the new facility name but will experience no change in how they interact with or avoid these restricted zones.
