What the agency says
This action revises an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that the FAA published in the Federal Register on May 22, 2025, by replacing an incorrect reference point within the Class D and Class E2 airspace descriptions and by adding a reference to the Tawba Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) to the Class E5 airspace description. This revised action continues to propose amending the Class D and Class E surface airspace at Hickory Regional Airport, Hickory NC, by increasing the radius and establishing an extension to the surface area due to standard instrument approach procedure and runway configuration changes. Additionally, this action continues to propose amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Hickory Regional Airport, Hickory, NC by increasing the radius and adding an extension. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
