FAA Modifies Airspace Over Washington

© 2007 The Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- The restricted airspace over the Washington region will be
modified next month to make it easier to regulate, the Federal Aviation
Administration announced Thursday.

The zone is currently made up of three 60-mile wide overlapping rings
that resemble Mickey Mouse ears on a map. The current, irregular airspace
will be replaced by a 30-nautical-mile-radius restricted area. Pilots
flying in the area will be able to use a single navigational aid instead
of the four in use today.

The change, which will take effect on Aug. 30, also reduces restrictions
on general aviation, freeing 33 airports and helipads from the current
restrictions in about 1,800 square miles of airspace.
