Proposed Modifications: Dallas/Fort Worth Class B Airspace Area; TX

View Comment

This is a solution looking for a problem. By modifying the Class B airspace near Addison, TX you will be crunching down (Again) the Class D Airspace over Addison. This will make it more difficult for Addison Tower to control aircraft in their small bit of airspace. VFR arrivals and departures from Addison (not using Regional Approach services) will be forced 500 feet lower to the ground. This will increase noise over populated areas and introduce new hazards to pilots by cramming more aircraft into a smaller space, and introducing more ground hazards such as antennas and terrain. Because of the new hazards and safety concerns you will force pilots to participate with Regional Approach, which often times cannot handle the load they already have. In fact they routinely reject VFR traffic when workload is high. All drawbacks, and no real benefits.
