Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, establish Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, and amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, Concord, NC. The FAA is proposing this action as a result of the Charlotte Class B Biennial Review. This action would also update the airport's name to Concord- Padgett Regional Airport, (formerly Concord Regional Airport). In addition, this action would also update the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's database. This action would also make an editorial change replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D and E airspace. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) in the area.
