SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Thursday, March 11, 2010, the 

FAA published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register to 

revise Class E airspace at Wainwright, 

AK (75 FR 11480). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

One comment was received. Refer to 

Figure 1 below to see the affected 

airspace. The commenter agreed with 

the 700 foot requirement, but asked why 

the 1,200 foot controlled airspace had to 

extend 70 miles from the airport, and 

disagreed with the proposal by 

questioning the need to extend that 

distance. The commenter asserted that if 

he were not able to contact the clearance 

authority, it would be illegal and unsafe 

to fly in controlled airspace under IFR 

without a clearance. The 70-mile 

requirement is based on Area 

Navigation (RNAV) instrument 

approach requirements based on what 

are called Terminal Arrival Areas 

(TAAs). A typical approach is designed 

to begin at the Initial Approach Fix 

(IAF) approximately 30 miles from the 

airport. The air traffic control’s 

controlled airspace requirement begins 

another 30 miles outside the IAF. In this 

case, the extension requires a 70-mile 

radius. Additionally, the commenter 

asserted that flights out to 70 miles in 

this area are in Class G airspace. In fact, 

only a small portion of Class G would 

be converted to Class E (approximately 

5–10% of the area). The remainder is 

already 1,200 foot Class E airspace 

associated with airport IFR service at 

Barrow, Point Lay, and Atqasuk. TAA’s 

in Alaska are good for pilots where nonradar operations are common. They 

essentially allow the arrival to be 

reduced to no more than two 90 degree 

turns to final, without extended nonradar clearances for excessive distances. 

The trade off in this case is less Class 

G airspace. However, even in Alaska, 

the Class G airspace is being converted 

to Class E where other TAAs have been 

published, and is quickly becoming 

unusable for any great distance. 

Regarding safety, the commenter is 

correct. Should he encounter 

inadvertent Instrument Meteorological 

Conditions (IMC) and have to climb to 

remain clear of clouds, he would have 

to either turn to remain VMC or declare 

an emergency, as he would anywhere 

else in the country. His comments are 

reasonable and thoughtful, and we 

appreciate his participation in this 

process. However, after consideration of 

the comment, the rule is adopted as 

proposed.
