Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing to establish Class E airspace around Meadow Creek Airport in Monee, Illinois. Under this proposal, the controlled zone would start 700 feet above the ground and extend outward in a circle with a radius of 6.4 miles from the airport.
Why it matters: This action matters primarily for local pilots and airport operators who need to comply with federal airspace rules once the rule is finalized. For the general public, there is no direct impact, as this concerns only aircraft operations above ground level. The FAA characterizes the economic impact as minimal, noting that any flight rerouting would be minor and limited to those choosing to navigate around the newly controlled zone.
Who it affects
- Private and commercial pilots operating at or near Meadow Creek Airport
