Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing to designate a new area of Class E airspace over Hardy, Virginia. This is a technical change to the map of the sky that defines where specific flight rules apply.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative update. It does not create a new airport or change general aviation laws. Its practical significance is limited to ensuring that helicopter operations at this specific medical facility can continue safely during low-visibility conditions, which is a standard requirement for heliports serving hospitals.
Who it affects
- Pilots operating helicopters at Carilion Westlake Center Heliport
This is a proposed rule from the Federal Aviation Administration published in the Federal Register; readers should check the original document for specific coordinates and effective dates before relying on it.
