The lines pilots fly by near Groton, CT, are getting redrawn

The US aviation agency is redrawing the invisible lines that define controlled airspace near Groton, CT. This means pilots and air traffic controllers will use slightly different boundaries and updated reference materials for that area.

Airspace definitions are critical for safety and efficiency. These small changes update outdated geographic coordinates and simplify how adjacent airspace is described. This helps ensure pilots and air traffic controllers are always working with the most current and accurate information, reducing potential confusion in a busy coastal area.
