Marysville, OH airspace rules updated after a navigation beacon disappears

The Federal Aviation Administration has updated the flight rules for the airspace around Marysville, Ohio. This change happened because a key navigation beacon in the area was shut down.

Airspace rules are usually stable for decades. When a piece of ground infrastructure, like a navigation beacon, is decommissioned, it forces a rewrite of the invisible lines that pilots follow. This means pilots flying under instrument flight rules will now use different procedures to navigate in and out of Marysville.
