Palm Springs airport changes its invisible airspace boundaries

The Federal Aviation Administration adjusted the invisible boundaries of controlled airspace around Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Palm Springs, California. This means pilots flying in and out of the airport will now follow slightly different rules for when they need air traffic control permission.

Airspace rules are usually set in stone for decades. Changes like this, even small ones, mean the FAA is responding to how local air traffic actually works. It's a quiet update to the infrastructure that keeps planes from hitting each other.
