The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend certain VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways near Anthony, Kansas. This change is necessary due to the scheduled decommissioning of the VOR component of the Anthony, KS VORTAC. The rule results in modifications to airways V-12, V-74, and V-516, with certain segments being removed. The FAA determined this action would not have significant environmental impacts and is part of keeping airspace navigation efficient and safe.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is changing some invisible flying roads in the sky near Anthony, Kansas, because a special guiding beacon there is being turned off. These changes are to ensure planes can still fly safely and smoothly along those paths.
