Small planes will now have more room to fly around Colusa County Airport

The Federal Aviation Administration is shrinking the protected airspace around Colusa County Airport. This means pilots of small aircraft will have more flexibility when flying in and out of the airport.

Airspace rules define where planes can fly and how close they can get to airports. When these rules change, it directly affects how pilots plan their routes and how much space they have to maneuver. This specific change gives pilots more freedom in a particular area.
