    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule amending certain VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) airways near Anthony, KS, due to the planned removal of a major navigation aid. Specifically, this action impacts VOR airways V-12, V-74, and V-516 by removing certain segments of these routes to maintain safe and efficient air traffic operations. This change is part of the FAA's effort to update the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) and does not significantly impact small entities or the environment.

This correction adds the Martinsburg, WV (MRB), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) to the description of Route T-356, which was unintentionally left out earlier. This change ensures the route overlays with another Federal airway as required. The amended rule takes effect on April 17, 2025.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13057
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of flying airplanes safely changed some invisible roads in the sky because an old helper tool in Cincinnati won't work anymore. This means the airplanes will still know where to go without any problems.
