FAA Tweaks Airspace Wording Above Washington Airport

## Summary

The FAA fixed some confusing wording about the airspace rules near Omak Airport, WA, to make them easier to understand. This change doesn’t affect pilots or costs but helps everyone get a clearer picture of the airspace starting 700 feet above the ground. The updated rules kick in on September 3, 2026, just like before.

## Abstract

This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on June 11, 2026, modifying the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Omak Airport, Omak, WA. Specifically, this action administratively rewrites the body of the legal description as it was presented in the final rule for greater clarity, without substantive impacts.
