Yellowstone airport expands its protected airspace for instrument landings

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to expand the protected airspace around Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody, Wyoming. This change will make it safer for planes to land using instruments when visibility is poor.

Pilots flying into Yellowstone Regional Airport will now have a larger area of protected airspace when landing in bad weather. This means less risk of accidentally flying too low or hitting obstacles outside the designated flight path. The change specifically helps planes that rely on instruments rather than visual cues to navigate.
