Nantucket airspace rules get a cleanup, making instrument flights safer

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to update the controlled airspace around Nantucket Memorial Airport. This means pilots flying by instruments will have clearer boundaries and safer operations.

Airspace rules are often complex and can become outdated as technology and flight patterns change. This proposal cleans up old definitions and ensures the designated airspace actually matches how planes fly today. It removes ambiguity for pilots and air traffic controllers, which reduces the chance of errors.
