A small North Carolina airport updates its coordinates, removing a hospital reference

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to update the official coordinates for Macon County Airport in Franklin, NC. This change also removes a reference to Angel Medical Center from the airport's controlled airspace description.

Airspace definitions are precise. Even small changes, like updating coordinates or removing a specific landmark, ensure that pilots using instrument flight rules have the most accurate information. This reduces the chance of errors during critical phases of flight, especially in bad weather.
