Nationwide changes to approach and takeoff rules
The FAA is establishing, amending, suspending, or removing Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs), Takeoff Minimums, and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for certain airports to keep flights safe and efficient. The overall rule is effective November 13, 2025 and applies to the specific procedures and dates listed in the amendatory provisions.
Columbia, MO procedures effective Dec 25, 2025
Specific SIAPs and amendments for Columbia, MO (COU) take effect 25 December 2025, including ILS OR LOC RWY 2 (Amdt 18B), RNAV (GPS) RWY 2 (Amdt 3), and RNAV (GPS) RWY 20 (Amdt 3A). Pilots and airport operators at Columbia must follow these amended procedures starting on that effective date.
Some procedures may take effect in under 30 days
The FAA states some SIAP, Takeoff Minimums, and ODP amendments may be made effective in less than 30 days (including emergency FDC NOTAM actions) when circumstances require immediate safety action. That means pilots and airport operators may have to comply with certain changes on shorter notice.
