[Docket No. 27583; Amendment No. 91-236]

 

Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR); Denver, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends appendix D, part 91, of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations to accurately reflect the name of the new Denver, 
Colorado, airport. The new Denver International Airport, scheduled to 
open in March 1994, will replace the Denver Stapleton Airport. Appendix 
D, part 91, lists locations, including Denver, Colorado, where special 
operating restrictions apply. This action will not affect any 
procedures or practices currently in place, but it is necessary to 
correctly state the name of the new Denver airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 9, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Appendix D, part 91, lists airports/locations where special 
operating restrictions apply. Section 1 lists the locations at which 
the requirements of Sec. 91.215(b)(2) apply. (Aircraft operating within 
30 nautical miles of an airport, listed in Section 1, from the surface 
upward to 10,000 feet mean sea level must be equipped with a Mode C 
transponder.) Section 3 lists the locations where fixed-wing special 
visual flight rule (SVFR) operations are prohibited. Both sections list 
the name of the Denver, Colorado, airport as ``Denver Stapleton 
Airport.''
    On March 9, 1994, the new Denver International Airport will open, 
replacing the Denver Stapleton Airport. This amendment replaces the 
word ``Stapleton'' with the word ``International'' in sections 1 and 3 
of appendix D, part 91.
