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.
