Abstract
This action revokes the Class E airspace at Blue Mesa, CO, and establishes a larger Class E airspace area in its place, which is designated the Gunnison, CO, Class E airspace area. The Blue Mesa Class E airspace area was incorrectly named for a navigational aid rather than for the airport served by the airspace. This is contrary to FAA policy. This action, in effect, renames the Class E airspace area. This action also increases the size of the Class E airspace area. The additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate a new Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) serving the Gunnison County Airport, Gunnison, CO.
