    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed revoking certain airways in Alaska due to plans to decommission two radio beacons. These changes will affect Colored Federal Airway Green 6 (G-6) and Alaskan Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-459 and V-496. The FAA assures that alternative navigation routes, like the RNAV Route T-380, can substitute these functions. Public comments on this proposal are invited until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to stop using some special paths in the sky for airplanes in Alaska because they plan to turn off certain guiding signals. But don't worry, they have backup paths for planes to use instead!

    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule amending certain Federal Airways and Navigation Routes in the United States and Canada. This change is due to the planned shutdown of a navigation system in Iron Mountain, Michigan. As a result, routes V-9, V-78, V-341, and V-430, as well as Canadian route T-765, have been altered. A new U.S. route, T-490, has also been established to help aircraft navigate around certain areas and maintain efficient air traffic.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is changing some airplane paths in the skies over the U.S. and Canada because a guiding tool in Michigan is being turned off. They are making new paths to help planes fly smoothly and safely.
