Amendment of Class C Airspace: Palm Beach International Airport, FL

View Comment

Airspace planners are not taking into consideration the antenna farm, directly west of the Palm beach County Airpark at 8 miles. These antenna top 1300ft. They create a "corrodor" of traffic running east and west from Lantana Airport, north of the antennas, at or below the floor of area "C" at 1200 feet, for traffic going to the west and the desginated practice areas located there. If the north boundery of the proposed cut-out were extended to the western edge of area "C" in a straight line, no further north than is depcited in the NPRM, this would allow transient traffic not under the control of Palm Beach Approach, significantly more room to maneuver and reduce the risk of a catastropic traffic conflict in that corrodor.
