El Dorado Airspace Updated for Safety
If you fly in or out of South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field (El Dorado, AR), the FAA changed the Class E airspace to match new instrument flight procedures effective 0901 UTC, April 17, 2025. The rule defines a 4.2-mile surface radius, a 6.7-mile radius for airspace from 700 feet, removes an east extension, and sets an extension southwest within 1.6 miles each side of the 236° bearing from the El Dorado VOR/DME out to 15 miles.
No Significant Cost to Small Entities
The FAA certified that this airspace amendment is routine, will have a minimal anticipated impact, and "does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities" under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The rule was promulgated as routine air traffic procedure updates and does not warrant a regulatory evaluation.
