Small planes can now fly by instruments into Wickenburg, Arizona

The Federal Aviation Administration wants to create a new type of controlled airspace around Wickenburg, Arizona. This change would allow pilots to use instrument flight rules to land at the local airport, even in bad weather.

Before this, pilots flying into Wickenburg had to rely on visual cues, which meant no flights in fog or heavy clouds. This small change makes the airport more reliable for all-weather operations. It also means more traffic and potentially more complex air operations for the area.
