Final rule.

Summary

The rule revises the boundaries of several airspace zones—Class D, Class E surface, and Class E extensions—around Roberts Field/Redmond Municipal Airport in Redmond, Oregon. By adjusting these zones, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aims to improve the safety and efficiency of both visual‑flight‑rules (VFR) and instrument‑flight‑rules (IFR) traffic that use the airport, ensuring that pilots have clear, up‑to‑date guidance on where specific flight procedures apply. The regulation is issued by the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration and affects pilots, airlines, flight schools, and any aircraft operators that fly in or near the Redmond airport airspace. It also informs air traffic controllers and airport managers who coordinate the flow of traffic in the revised zones. The final rule was published on November 5, 2026, and becomes effective on February 18, 2027. No further public comment period is required because the rule is already finalized; after the effective date, the updated airspace charts and procedures will be distributed, and pilots will need to follow the new boundaries for all operations at Roberts Field.
