A series of proposed updates to the FAA’s airspace protection regulations, as defined under Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, has mostly met with approval from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association… but that’s not to say AOPA doesn’t have some additional suggestions to protect smaller general aviation airports. “AOPA generally supports the changes the FAA has proposed, but there are some things that might have a negative affect on GA airports,” said Heidi Williams, AOPA director of air traffic services. “We’re asking for additional analysis before the rule changes become final.”
