FAA Proposes New Controlled Airspace Around a Medical Heliport in Ohio

Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing to create a specific zone of controlled airspace around the University Hospitals Conneaut Medical Center Heliport in Conneaut, Ohio. Under the proposal, Class E airspace would begin 700 feet above the ground and extend outward in a seven-mile radius.
Why it matters: This adjustment is purely administrative and technical. It creates the controlled airspace required to legally support instrument approaches for helicopters operating out of the Conneaut heliport. Without it, the facility cannot officially offer IFR flight services. The FAA notes the impact is minimal and routine.
Who it affects
- Pilots and air traffic controllers operating in the Conneaut, Ohio area
This proposed rule was published by the Federal Aviation Administration in the Federal Register; you should review the full docket at regulations.gov before relying on any details, as the final airspace designation may change based on public comments and environmental review.
