Airspace rules change at Little Rock AFB

If you fly into or out of Little Rock Air Force Base, the FAA is proposing to amend the Class D airspace and establish Class E airspace that extends upward from the surface because the control tower will move to part-time operations. The change is intended to keep instrument flight rules (IFR) operations safe and managed, and the proposal says it will not cost anyone extra and will begin soon.
