The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to amend a section of Jet Route J-96 in the airspace near Cimarron, New Mexico. This change is due to navigation issues that have made part of the route unusable since 2020. The proposal would remove the segment of the route between the Cimarron and Garden City, Kansas, navigational aids. This adjustment is not expected to negatively affect air traffic, as alternative routes are available for pilots.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to change a plane path in the sky near Cimarron, New Mexico, because part of it hasn’t worked right since 2020, and they believe planes will still find other ways to get where they’re going.
