Pilots can now land by instruments at a small Illinois airport

The US aviation regulator established a new controlled airspace around Meadow Creek Airport in Monee, Illinois. This means pilots can now use instrument procedures to land and take off, even in bad weather.

This rule allows pilots to fly into and out of this specific airport using only their instruments. Before this, they relied on visual cues, which limited operations during low visibility. It makes the airport more reliable for all-weather flights.
