Amendment to Class E Airspace; Grain Valley, MO

This action amends the Class E airspace area at Grain Valley, East Kansas City Airport, MO. The FAA has developed Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 9 and GPS RWY 27 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Grain Valley, East Kansas City Airport, MO. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate these SIAPs and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at this airport. Reference to the RABOD waypoint and Napoleon VORTEC have been deleted. Enlarging the Class E airspace area will eliminate the extensions to the east and northeast. The enlarged area will contain the new GPS RWY 9 and GPS RWY 27 SIAPs in controlled airspace. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing GPS RWY 9 and GPS RWY 27 SIAPs, remove references to the RABOD waypoint, Napoleon VORTAC, eliminate extensions and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
