Published Date: 12/9/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The FAA wants to update the airspace rules around Miami Executive Airport to keep flights safe and smooth.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Class D Airspace Changed Near Miami Exec
The FAA proposes changing Class D airspace around Miami Executive Airport so it would extend from the surface up to 2,500 feet MSL within a 4.3-mile radius of the airport and within 1.2 miles each side of the 267° bearing extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 5.9 miles west of the airport reference point. The rule excludes airspace inside the Miami, FL, Class B area and says the area will be effective at dates/times set by Notice to Airmen and published in the Chart Supplement.
Class E Surface Area Around Miami Exec
The FAA proposes to amend Class E surface airspace for Miami Executive Airport to encompass a radius around the airport (stated in one paragraph as within a 5-mile radius) and to make that surface-area airspace effective during specified dates and times published by Notice to Airmen and in the Chart Supplement. This change is intended to manage IFR operations at the airport.
Class E Airspace (700 ft) & IAF Update
The FAA proposes amending Class E airspace that begins at 700 feet above the surface to cover a 7-mile radius around listed airports (including Miami International and Miami Executive) and to add airspace within 2.4 miles each side of the 267° bearing from the LAYDN initial approach fix (IAF) extending from the 7-mile radius to 7 miles west of the IAF; it also updates the IAF name to LAYDN. The proposal also lists specific adjacent airports (Fort Lauderdale Executive, Pompano Beach Airpark, North Perry) and radius distances (e.g., 6.5-mile radius for some airports).
FAA Says Minimal Small-Business Impact
The FAA certified this proposed rule is routine and 'will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities' under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and it determined the anticipated impact on the public is minimal. The proposal is not a 'significant regulatory action' under Executive Order 12866.

This proposed AD would require installing new external case heaters (ECHs) on the left and right AOA sensors, performing repetitive functional tests and applicable corrective actions, and accomplishing applicable concurrent actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
