FAA updates airport location data after decades of manual reference

The Federal Aviation Administration is replacing outdated paper references with a digital chart system and correcting geographic coordinates for Morristown Airport's airspace zone. This modernizes how pilots and air traffic controllers find accurate, current information about controlled airspace boundaries—moving from printed directories that lag behind real conditions to a live, centrally-managed system.

For the first time in decades, the regulatory reference for a major airport is shifting from a system where geographic coordinates lived in printed directories updated irregularly to a digital system that can be corrected and distributed instantly—a quiet structural shift from static, paper-bound regulations to dynamic, updatable ones.
