FAA Redraws Airspace Rules Over Jacksonville's Marine Corps Air Station

## Summary

The FAA is creating new Class E2 airspace right above New River Marine Corps Air Station in Jacksonville, NC, because the control tower only works part-time. At the same time, they’re removing the old Class E4 airspace since it no longer fits the rules. These changes help keep flights safe and organized, especially for pilots flying by instruments, with no extra costs or delays expected.

## Abstract

This action establishes Class E2 airspace extending upward from the surface above the New River Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), Jacksonville, NC, as the air traffic control tower operates part-time. This action also removes the Class E4 airspace at New River MCAS (NCA), Jacksonville, NC, due to the current designated airspace no longer meeting the requirements of its designation. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
