There are a bunch of airports in my local area that are set for ATC Tower closures beginning next month. Seeing as there has been no guidance from the FAA on the matter, I was wondering if anyone here knew how the airspace rules for these airports will change as a result?
I assume the airports in question (which in my area are all in Class D airspace) will revert to Class G airspace from the surface up to 700 AGL (or 1200 AGL) once the closures begin (same as what happens every night when the tower closes for the evening). Any thoughts on this?
Can we expect to see new charts, A/FD, etc. to reflect these airspace/airport changes?
