FAA Modifies Class E Airspace at Florence Airport
Published Date: 2/25/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The FAA wants to change the airspace rules around Florence Municipal Airport in Oregon to make flying safer and smoother for pilots using instruments. This affects pilots flying in and out of Florence and helps manage air traffic better starting after April 13, 2026, when public comments close. No extra costs for the public, just smarter skies ahead!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Airspace change to help IFR flights
If you fly instruments into or out of Florence Municipal Airport, the FAA proposes changing the Class E airspace that begins at 700 feet above the surface. The proposal expands the northern and southwestern boundaries (including a 3-mile radius of the airport and extensions such as 2.1 miles east/2.2 miles west extending to 8.5 miles north, and extensions out to 4.3 miles southwest) to better contain RNAV departures until 1,200 feet and RNAV/Copter approach procedures when below 1,500 feet.
No significant cost to small businesses
The FAA certified that this proposed airspace change will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act and says the anticipated impact is minimal, so it does not require a full regulatory evaluation.
