The Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, Austin, TX, and the Port Columbus International Airport, Columbus, OH, are designated Airport Radar Service Areas (ARSA) airports at which, unless otherwise provided for in a Notice to Airmen issued by the ARSA facility, radar services will be provided continuously. 2. For purposes of this Special Federal Aviation Regulation: (a) The Austin, TX, ARSA is that airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 4,600 feet MSL within a 5 nautical mile radius of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport and that airspace extending upward from 2,000 feet MSL to 4,600 feet MSL, within a 10 nautical mile radius of Robert Mueller Municipal Airport from the 027 deg. true bearing from the airport clockwise to the 207 deg. true bearing from the airport and that airspace extending upward from 2,300 feet MSL to 4,600 feet MSL within a 10 nautical mile radius of the airport from the 207 deg. true bearing from the airport clockwise to the 027 deg. true bearing from the airport. (b) The Columbus, OH, ARSA is that airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 4,800 feet MSL within a 5 nautical mile radius of the Port Columbus International Airport and that airspace extending upward from 2,500 feet MSL to 4,800 feet MSL within a 10 nautical mile radius of Port Columbus International Airport from the 008 deg. true bearing from the airport clockwise to the 127 deg. true bearing from the airport and that airspace extending upward from 2,200 feet MSL to 4,800 feet MSL within a 10 nautical mile radius of the airport from the 127 deg. true bearing from the airport clockwise to the 008 deg. true bearing from the airport. (c) The primary airport is the airport for which the ARSA is designated; a satellite airport is any other airport, heliport, helipad, etc., within that ARSA. 3. Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC-- (a) Arrivals and Overflights--no person may operate an aircraft in an ARSA unless two-way radio communication is established with ATC prior to entering that ARSA and is thereafter maintained with ATC while within that ARSA; (b) Departures--no person may operate an aircraft within an ARSA unless two-way radio communication is maintained with ATC while within that ARSA, except that for aircraft departing a satellite airport, two-way radio communication is established as soon as practicable and thereafter maintained with ATC while within that ARSA; (c) ATC Instructions and Clearances--except in an emergency, no person may, while within an ARSA, operate an aircraft contrary to an ATC clearance or instruction; (d) Traffic Patterns--no person may takeoff or land an aircraft within an ARSA except in compliance with FAA arrival and departure traffic patterns; and (e) Ultralight Vehicle and Parachute Jump Operations--no person may operate an ultralight vehicle within, or make a parachute jump within or into, an ARSA except under the terms of an ATC authorization issued by the ATC facility having jurisdiction over that ARSA. 4.

(b) VOR Federal airways. ***************************************************************************** 56 FR 65638, No. 242, Dec. 17, 1991 SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) to adopt certain recommendations of the National Airspace Review (NAR) concerning changes to regulations and procedures in regard to airspace classifications. These changes are intended to: (1) Simplify airspace designations; (2) achieve international commonality of airspace designations; (3) increase standardization of equipment requirements for operations in various classifications of airspace; (4) describe appropriate pilot certificate requirements, visual flight rules (VFR) visibility and distance from cloud rules, and air traffic services offered in each class of airspace; and (5) satisfy the responsibilities of the United States as a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The final rule also amends the requirement for minimum distance from clouds in certain airspace areas and the requirements for communications with air traffic control (ATC) in certain airspace areas; eliminates airport radar service areas (ARSAs), control zones, and terminal control areas (TCAs) as airspace classifications; and eliminates the term "airport traffic area." The FAA believes simplified airspace classifications will reduce existing airspace complexity and thereby enhance safety.
