Small Idaho airport gets new flight rules for instrument landings

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to change the controlled airspace around Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport in Idaho. This will make it safer for planes to land using only instruments, especially in bad weather.

Airspace rules define how planes can fly in and out of an airport. When an airport gets new rules for instrument flights, it means more pilots can use it reliably, even when visibility is poor. This can increase traffic and make the airport a more consistent option for travel and cargo.
