The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to revoke two Alaskan air routes, known as Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-447 and Jet Route J-155, and to amend Jet Route J-115. This change is a result of the removal of the Chandalar Lake Nondirectional Radio Beacon in Alaska. The altered air traffic service routes are designed to maintain safety and efficiency as part of the National Airspace System. These changes will take effect on June 12, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented changes to the Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs), as well as Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for certain airports. These updates are due to new criteria and changes in the National Airspace System, such as new navigational facilities and air traffic requirements, aimed at enhancing the safety and efficiency of air travel. The rule modifies 14 CFR part 97, incorporates relevant changes specified in permanent notices, and is designed to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules. The regulation has a minimal economic impact and is not considered a significant regulatory action.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes how Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs), Takeoff Minimums, and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) are applied at certain airports. These updates are due to new or revised criteria and changes in the National Airspace System, like new navigational facilities and additional obstacles. The rule, meant to ensure safe and efficient air travel, becomes effective on February 18, 2025, with compliance dates specified for each SIAP and related procedures. The FAA explains that these changes are routine and do not have significant economic impacts.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule changing the Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS), Takeoff Minimums, and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) at specific airports. These updates are due to new or revised criteria and changes in the National Airspace System, like new navigational facilities and obstacles. The goal is to ensure safe and efficient airspace use and flight operations under instrument rules. The rule becomes effective on December 10, 2024, and some updates may take effect in less than 30 days due to urgent safety needs.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed changes to the Area Navigation (RNAV) route Q-34 in the northeastern United States. This amendment is part of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the National Airspace System by decreasing reliance on ground-based navigation. The FAA seeks public comments on the impact of the proposal, particularly concerning its regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects. The proposal involves extending the Q-34 route from Tennessee to New Jersey, incorporating specific waypoints, and aligning the route with existing high-altitude navigation structures.
