Redesignation of Mountainous Areas in Alaska

Transportation Department, Federal Aviation Administration

Abstract

This proposal would update the designated mountainous areas in the State of Alaska. Regulations currently designating mountainous areas in Alaska were established in 1956. Since that time, we have concluded that areas previously considered non-mountainous should be expanded, and two areas previously designated mountainous should now be considered non-mountainous. The intended effect of this proposal is to enhance safety by allowing aircraft operating in certain non- mountainous areas to fly at lower altitudes when necessary.
