What changed
The FAA has published a correction to its proposed Class C airspace amendment at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, NC. Class C airspace surrounds airports with operating air traffic control towers and radar approach control, and is typically designated for airports with certain passenger volumes and operations counts. The proposed amendment would modify the boundaries or designation of controlled airspace in the RDU area.
Pilots, air carriers, and airport operators operating at or near Raleigh-Durham International Airport should monitor this proceeding and submit comments to FAA-2013-0259-5327. Any changes to Class C airspace designation could affect instrument approach procedures, VFR traffic patterns, and general aviation operations in the affected area. Stakeholders with operational concerns should participate in the public comment period and any scheduled public meetings.
What to do next
- Submit public comments via Regulations.gov by 06/05/2026
- Attend public meeting on proposed Class C airspace amendment
