The Federal Aviation Administration is creating Class E airspace above Franciscan Health Crown Point Hospital Heliport in Indiana. This designation covers the area within a 6.9-mile radius of the heliport, starting at an altitude of 700 feet above the ground and extending upward.
Why it matters: This establishes legal boundaries for air traffic control around the hospital helipad, ensuring safe separation between aircraft operating under instrument procedures and other low-flying traffic. For most people on the ground, this will have no noticeable effect.
Who it affects
- Helicopter pilots and fixed-wing aircraft using the Franciscan Health Crown Point Hospital Heliport
