New Class E Airspace at Seaside Heliport
If you are a pilot or work with Providence Seaside Hospital air operations in Seaside, Oregon, new Class E airspace begins on May 14, 2026 at 0901 UTC. The airspace extends upward from 700 feet above the surface in an approximately 3.5 by 10-mile area (8.3 miles north boundary and 2.3 miles south boundary) to contain two instrument procedures: the COPTER RNAV (GPS) Runway 17 arrival (below 1,500 feet) and the CEKOG ONE (RNAV) departure (until reaching 1,200 feet). The FAA says this supports instrument flight rules operations and that local pilots and hospital operations will benefit with no extra costs or delays expected.
