Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration has finalized a routine update to the controlled airspace around Godman Army Airfield in Fort Knox, Kentucky. The change adjusts the boundaries of the Class D and Class E airspace areas, which are the controlled flight zones around the airport.
Why it matters: The practical effect is mostly administrative. The airspace changes align the official maps and flight procedures with the airport’s current navigation equipment after the FAA retired a ground-based radio beacon. Pilots flying under instrument flight rules will see updated boundaries on their charts, but the shift is small enough that it will not change how aircraft operate or where they land.
Who it affects
- Pilots and air traffic controllers operating in the Fort Knox, Kentucky area
This rule was published by the Federal Aviation Administration in the Federal Register; pilots and aviation professionals should verify the updated airspace boundaries in the official Chart Supplement and FAA Order JO 7400.11 before relying on them for flight planning.
