Modification to Class D Airspace; Hayward, CA

This action amends the Class D airspace area at Hayward, CA. The existing Class D airspace area at Hayward Air Terminal extends outward to 5.6 miles. The FAA has determined that the existing 5.6-mile radius is unjustified based on existing air traffic control requirements and should be reduced. This action reduces the radius of the Hayward Class D airspace area to 3.5 miles, but retains an extension from 3.5-mile radius to 5.2 miles southeast of the airport to accommodate Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) arrivals. The intended effect of this action is to eliminate those portions of the Hayward Class D airspace area which are not necessary to meet terminal air traffic requirements.
