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 issued a final rule to amend several Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways—specifically V-16, V-103, V-375, and V-473—in the eastern United States. This change is due to the planned decommissioning of the Roanoke, VA, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The amendments are part of efforts to maintain efficient air traffic flow and keep the National Airspace System (NAS) updated. The changes involve removing certain segments of these airways and listing any excluded airspace areas, ensuring that the airways remain operational and safe for aviation use.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish a new United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-553 and modify several existing RNAV routes (T-356, T-358, and T-479) in the eastern United States. This move is part of the FAA's NextGen initiative to modernize air navigation and improve the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System. The changes involve extending, adding, or realigning sections of these routes to enhance connectivity between areas like Greensboro, NC, and Elkins, WV. The amendments are designed to ensure better air traffic flow without significant economic or environmental impacts.
