FAA Tweaks Controlled Airspace Boundaries Around Kinston, North Carolina

## Summary

The FAA wants to update the airspace rules around Kinston Regional Jetport in North Carolina by fixing the airport’s exact location and adjusting nearby controlled airspace to keep things safe and smooth. Pilots flying in and out of Kinston will be affected, but there’s no cost impact for the public. You’ve got until July 25, 2025, to share your thoughts before these changes take off!

- FAA finds minimal economic impact on small entities: benefit, low. The FAA determined this proposed amendment involves routine technical updates, is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ does not warrant a regulatory evaluation because the anticipated impact is minimal, and certified it will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of smal…
