Amendment of Class D Airspace and Class E Airspace Over New Bedford, MA

The Federal Aviation Administration has amended controlled airspace over New Bedford, Massachusetts. Per the Federal Register, the FAA is expanding Class D airspace—the controlled zone around major airports—by adding a northwest extension measuring point-seven miles long and three point six miles wide. The expansion accommodates current instrument flight operations, and the amendment also updates the airport name and geographic coordinates in the airspace legal description. It's a routine regulatory adjustment that ensures the official boundaries match how pilots are actually flying.
