Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a final rule to update the official list of airspace designations in the Code of Federal Regulations. This change formally incorporates FAA Order JO 7400.11M into the legal text of 14 CFR part 71.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative update. It does not create new airspace or change flight rules; it simply ensures the legal code points to the most current version of the FAA’s internal mapping order. For most people, this has no immediate impact on daily life or travel, but it keeps the regulatory framework accurate.
Who it affects
- Air traffic controllers and pilots who rely on official airspace boundaries
This action was taken by the Federal Aviation Administration and published in the Federal Register; readers should consult the official document for the specific text of the incorporated order.
