Proposed Revision of Class E 

Airspace; Mountain Home, ID 

AGENCY Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise 

Class E airspace at Mountain Home, ID, 

beginning at 1,200 feet above ground 

level (AGL), replacing the existing Class 

G uncontrolled airspace. This airspace 

action will accommodate the terminal 

environment transition between Salt 

Lake Air Route Traffic Control Center 

(ARTCC) and Mountain Home AFB 

Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) by 

placing aircraft in controlled airspace 

during the transfer of aircraft radar 

identification between the facilities. In 

addition, a review of the legal 

description revealed that it does not 

reflect the correct airport reference point 

(ARP) of Mountain Home Municipal 

Airport and geographic position of the 

Sturgeon Non-Directional Beacon 

(NDB). This action will correct those 

minor discrepancies. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 5, 2006.

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

Mountain Home AFB RAPCON works 

daily with Salt Lake ARTCC, 

transferring traffic between the facilities’

airspace areas. The RAPCON’s airspace 

has been charted into the ARTCC 

mapping file structure and extended to 

join with the Owyhee MOA boundary to 

the southwest of Mountain Home AFB. 

This wedge of airspace is outside the 

current 40 DME arc from the Mountain 

Home TACAN which accommodated 

the former approach control boundary 

to the southwest. The 46 DME arc brings 

that wedge into Class E airspace and is 

a fluid transition from adjoining Class E 

airspace along V113 to the southwest 

and around to V253 to the southeast, 

incorporating the northern portion of 

the Jarbridge MOA, accommodating the 

terminal environment transition and 

making control procedures more 

operationally efficient. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to revise the Class E 

airspace area with a base altitude of 

1,200 feet AGL in the vicinity of 

Mountain Home AFB, ID. Class E 

airspace is used to transition to and 

from the terminal or enroute 

environment, allowing a buffer for 

arriving and departing IFR aircraft from 

uncontrolled to controlled airspace. A 

review of the airspace in southern Idaho 

revealed a large area of uncontrolled 

(Glass G) airspace immediately adjacent 

to the (controlled) Class E airspace 

currently utilized by Mountain Home 

AFB RAPCON. Because this airspace is 

Class G below 14,500 feet mean sea 

level (MSL), Mountain Home AFB 

RAPCON does not have the authority to 

initiate IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) 

control instructions and vector aircraft 

transferred to them from Salt Lake 

ARTCC. IFR operations can take place 

in Class G, but the ability of the 

approach control to provide vectors, as 

an example, should not happen until 

within the confines of the approach 

control delegated airspace. The 46 DME 

arc provides for this buffer where 

transition from Class G to E can take 

place (arrival or departure), and allows 

the approach control in question to 

provide that vector within Class E. The 

Mountain Home AFB RAPCON airspace 

extends only to the 40 DME arc, and 

therefore, has no safe buffer currently 

established. 

The proposed airspace revision 

incorporates into Class E airspace that 

portion of Mountain Home AFB 

RAPCON delegated airspace that was 

extended to join with the Owyhee MOA 

boundary to the Southwest of Mountain 

Home AFB. This wedge of airspace is 

outside the current 40 DME arc from the 

Mountain Home TACAN, which 

accommodated the former approach 

control boundary to the southwest. 

In addition, the 6500 feet MSL Class 

E airspace to the southeast within the 

Jarbridge Military Operations Area 

(MOA) will be incorporated into this 

1200 foot AGL Class E airspace. Neither 

Mountain Home AFB RAPCON nor Salt 

Lake ARTCC utilize this airspace at 

6500 feet MSL, and containing it at 1200 

feet AGL will allow Mountain Home 

AFB RAPCON to vector aircraft to 

Jarbridge MOA at lower altitudes. 

Class E enroute domestic airspace 

areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 

2005, and effective September 15, 2005, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document 

would be published subsequently in 

this Order.
