**History**

Federal Register Document 03-17766, published on Tuesday, July 15, 2003, (68 FR 41691) modified Class E airspace at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, KS. The modification was to provide the appropriate Class E airspace to protect aircraft executing newly developed instrument approach procedures at Cessna Aircraft Field, Wichita, KS, to correct discrepancies in the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, KS Class E airspace area and to bring the legal description into compliance with FAA Order 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. This Class E airspace area is defined, in part, by the McConnell AFB airport reference point. On August 4, 2003, a revised McConnell AFB airport reference point was published. This correction incorporates the revised McConnell AFB airport reference point into the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, KS Class E airspace area and its legal description.

**14 CFR Part 71**

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, KS Class E airspace, as published in the *Federal Register* on Tuesday, July 15, 2003, (68 FR 41691), [FR Doc. 03-17766] is corrected as follows:

to read “miles south of the airport.”

(Lat. 37°37′23″ N., long. 97°16′24″ W.)”

Issued in Kansas City, MO, on August 11, 2003.
