Amendment to Class D and Class E Airspace; Cape Girardeau, MO

This amendment revises the Class D and Class E airspace areas at Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport, Cape Girardeau, MO. A review of the Class E airspace for Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport indicates it does not comply with the criteria for 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) airspace required for diverse departures as specified in FAA Order 7400.2D. The area has been enlarged to conform to the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D. The current airspace description in FAA Order 7400.9E indicates part-time operation for the Class E airspace area. The actual hours of operation for the Class E airspace area are continuous. A minor revision to the Airport Reference Point (ARP) coordinates is included in this document. The intended effect of this rule is to revise the ARP coordinates, indicate the Class E airspace area is in effect continuously, comply with the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D, and to provide additional controlled Class E airspace for aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
