The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule to modify certain airways and establish a new area navigation route near Three Rivers, Texas. This is due to the planned decommissioning of the Three Rivers VOR, part of an effort to update the navigation aid system. The proposal outlines changes to VOR Federal Airways V-161, V-163, and V-568, and introduces a new RNAV Route T-545, which would serve RNAV-equipped aircraft and help maintain efficient navigation in the area. The public is invited to submit comments on these proposals before the deadline in January 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a final rule to amend and revoke certain Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways in the eastern United States. This change is part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program and is necessitated by the planned decommissioning of specific navigation aids in Florida. The amended airways include V-3, V-35, V-51, and several others, while airways V-295, V-529, and V-601 have been revoked entirely. This rule aims to maintain efficient and safe navigation across the National Airspace System by updating the route structure to reflect current operational needs.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to some Jet Routes and VOR Federal Airways to accommodate the planned decommissioning of a VOR navigational aid near Bradford, Illinois. This involves amending routes like J-26 and V-156, and revoking V-262 entirely. The changes are part of the FAA's effort to maintain a safe and efficient National Airspace System. The agency invites public comments on the proposed rule by January 23, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing amendments to Jet Routes J-83 and J-85, as well as VOR Federal Airways V-415 and V-605 in the eastern United States to support the relocation of the Spartanburg, SC VORTAC. This project involves adjusting several flight paths to prevent conflicts with nearby routes and updating the navigation points due to the VORTAC's new location. The FAA has determined that these changes are necessary for maintaining efficient air traffic flow and safety in the National Airspace System. Public comments on this proposed rule are invited until February 3, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delayed the effective date of a rule initially established on January 16, 2025, regarding changes to various airways and a navigation route in Industry, TX. This delay, moving the effective date to August 7, 2025, allows additional time for redesigning and inspecting a flight procedure into George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport, which failed its initial evaluations. The decision was deemed necessary to ensure safety and efficiency without prior public comment due to the minor nature of the delay.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to airways V-444 and V-504 in Alaska due to the planned shutdown of the Evansville, AK, Nondirectional Radio Beacon. These changes are part of a larger effort to modernize air navigation in Alaska, shifting toward reliance on newer technology. The proposed amendments aim to maintain safe and efficient airspace operations by updating the airways' structures, with V-444 and V-504 being redefined to account for the loss of the Evansville Beacon. Public comments on these changes are invited until February 13, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to some air traffic routes involving VOR Federal Airways due to the planned decommissioning of a navigational aid in Zanesville, Ohio. Specifically, they plan to amend VOR Federal Airways V-38, V-133, and V-144, while V-214 would be completely removed. These changes are part of the FAA's initiative to support newer navigation systems. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal before January 23, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to modify certain air navigation routes due to the planned decommissioning of a navigational aid in Beckley, West Virginia. The action affects several flight paths: amending VOR Federal Airway V-519 and RNAV Route T-426, while revoking Jet Routes J-213 and J-526, and VOR Federal Airways V-59 and V-258. The rule is part of the FAA's initiative to ensure safe and efficient use of airspace and has been determined not to pose any significant regulatory impacts or environmental concerns. These changes will take effect on February 20, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to amend three VOR Federal Airways (V-55, V-100, and V-277) due to the planned decommissioning of a navigation aid in Keeler, Michigan, as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network program. These changes will affect how pilots navigate certain flight paths, requiring alterations to some segments of the airways. Pilots can use alternate routes or ask for guidance from air traffic control to adjust to these changes. The FAA is inviting public comments on this proposal until April 24, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule amending several VOR Federal Airways and a U.S. Area Navigation Route, as well as revoking one VOR airway. This change is due to the decommissioning of a navigation aid in Cincinnati, Kentucky, which is part of the FAA's plan to maintain a minimal operational network of VORs. As a result, segments of these airways have been altered or removed to ensure air traffic can still flow safely and efficiently. The amendments are part of the FAA's ongoing efforts to keep airspace management current without significant environmental impact.
