Heliport Gone, So Airspace Rules Over Pennsylvania Town Get Tweaked

## Summary

The FAA wants to change the airspace rules over Honesdale, PA by removing the part that covered the now-closed Honesdale Sports Complex Heliport. This means pilots will no longer follow special rules for that area since the heliport and its flight procedures are gone. If you have thoughts, speak up by April 16, 2026—no costs or big changes for most folks, just cleaner skies on paper!

## Abstract

This action proposes to amend Class E5 airspace at Honesdale, PA. The portion of the Class E5 airspace associated with the Honesdale Sports Complex Heliport is being removed due to the heliport being abandoned and associated instrument approach procedures being canceled.
