- 2017-01 FAA Proposed Changes to SFO Class B Airspace. The FAA is proposing major changes to the SFO Class B airspace. If these changes go through, they will probably take effect in 2018 when the SFO maps are published. The FAA had 3 meetings in the SFO bay area. Pacific Soaring Council, Inc. (PASCO) represented the soaring community at all 3 meetings to voice our concerns that the new airspace will have a detrimental impact on local glider soaring operations. Presentation and comment forms were submitted to the FAA by PASCO Board Members. The new class B restrictions will put 2 waypoints inside of Class B, and put the Class B area very close to several other waypoints frequently used by glider operations at Byron and Holister Airports.
