  • 2025-05287 — Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V-233 and Revocation of VOR Federal Airway V-320 Due to the Decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant, MI, VOR
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 14220
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) decided to withdraw a proposed rule that aimed to amend and revoke two VOR Federal Airways, V-233 and V-320, due to the planned decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant, MI VOR navigational aid. Originally published in May 2023, this proposal was rendered unnecessary because V-233 was already amended by a separate action, and the decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant VOR has been postponed to July 2026. This delay is needed to further assess and resolve navigational signal coverage issues. Therefore, this proposed rule is no longer proceeding.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wanted to change some airplane routes because a device that helps pilots know where they are was going to be turned off. But they decided not to do that right now because they still need it to help airplanes find their way better.

    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes several Jet Routes and Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways, while also revoking a couple of VOR Federal Airways near Goshen, Indiana. These changes are necessary due to the decommissioning of part of the Goshen VOR navigational aid, a move that supports the FAA's program to maintain a minimal operational network. The amendments are part of routine updates to ensure efficient air traffic management without significant environmental or economic impacts. The new rule will become effective on June 12, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is changing some invisible paths in the sky where planes fly near Goshen, Indiana, because they're turning off an old guiding tool to use a better network. This helps keep things safe and organized for airplanes without causing big problems for the environment or costing lots of money.
