FAA establishes controlled airspace around a Dover, Ohio heliport
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration is creating Class E airspace that extends from 700 feet above the ground up to higher altitudes. This new zone covers an area within an 8.1-mile radius of the Cleveland Clinic, Union Hospital Heliport in Dover, Ohio.
Why it matters: This is an administrative update required because new instrument approach procedures are being developed for the heliport. Without this designated airspace, pilots flying under instrument rules would not have a controlled environment to safely navigate to and from the hospital landing site in poor weather.
Who it affects
- Pilots operating helicopters or other aircraft within 8.1 miles of the Dover, OH heliport between 700 feet AGL and the floor of overlying airspace.
This rule was issued by the Federal Aviation Administration and published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2026; consult the original document for precise coordinates and legal text.
