Small South Dakota airport can now handle planes flying without looking

The Federal Aviation Administration has created new controlled airspace around Wall Municipal Airport in South Dakota. This means planes can now land and take off there using only instruments, even in bad weather.

Before this change, pilots flying into Wall Municipal Airport had to rely on seeing the runway. Now, they can use their instruments to guide them, which makes the airport more accessible and safer for certain types of flights. This small change makes the airport more useful for business and emergency services, especially when visibility is poor.
