What the agency says
This action proposes to amend Class E5 airspace over Elizabeth City, NC. This action will add Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6-mile radius of Sentara Albemarle Medical Center Heliport. This addition of airspace is necessary because of new instrument approach procedures that have been developed for the heliport.
