A tiny Wyoming airport can now handle planes flying only by instruments

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to establish new airspace rules for Pine Bluffs Municipal Airport in Wyoming. This change means planes can now land and take off there using only their instruments, even in bad weather.

Most small airports only allow planes to fly by sight. This limits when they can operate, especially in poor visibility. By establishing this new airspace, the airport can support more reliable air travel and potentially more traffic, even if it's just a few more planes a day.
