The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) decided to withdraw a proposed rule that aimed to amend and revoke two VOR Federal Airways, V-233 and V-320, due to the planned decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant, MI VOR navigational aid. Originally published in May 2023, this proposal was rendered unnecessary because V-233 was already amended by a separate action, and the decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant VOR has been postponed to July 2026. This delay is needed to further assess and resolve navigational signal coverage issues. Therefore, this proposed rule is no longer proceeding.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wanted to change some airplane routes because a device that helps pilots know where they are was going to be turned off. But they decided not to do that right now because they still need it to help airplanes find their way better.
