Abstract
This action proposes to amend the Class D and Class E2 surface airspace at Hickory Regional Airport, Hickory, NC, by increasing the radius to 4.6-miles and establishing an extension to the surface area due to standard instrument approach procedure and runway configuration changes. Additionally, this action would amend Class E5 airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Hickory Regional Airport, Hickory, NC, by increasing the radius to 7.1 miles and adding an extension. Lastly, this action would also amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Foothills Regional Airport, Morganton, NC, ensuring the required protection for standard instrument approach procedures, and would also update the airport's name and geographic coordinates and remove Grace Hospital from the description. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
