Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration has finalized a technical update to the controlled airspace surrounding Omak Airport in Omak, Washington. The change modifies Class E airspace, which is the type of controlled air space that typically begins at 700 feet above ground level and extends upward.
Why it matters: This is a routine technical correction designed to align official maps with actual flight operations. It ensures that air traffic control can legally manage aircraft using the new GPS-based approach procedure without violating airspace regulations. The impact on general aviation or commercial operators should be minimal, limited mostly to updated charts and minor navigational awareness for pilots flying in the immediate vicinity of the airport.
Who it affects
- Pilots operating under instrument flight rules (IFR) at Omak Airport
This final rule was issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Department, and can be found in the Federal Register as FR Doc. 2026-11792.
