Federal Register: Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace

by P.J. Blount with the blog faculty

The FAA published new rules on Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace (PDF) in today’s Federal Register (75 Fed. Reg. 42296-42308):

SUMMARY: This action amends the regulations governing objects that may affect the navigable airspace. These rules have not been revised in several decades, and the FAA has determined it is necessary to update the regulations, incorporate case law and legislative action, and simplify the rule language. These changes will improve safety and promote the efficient use of the National Airspace System.
