The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a final rule that changes air navigation routes in Alaska. Specifically, the FAA is amending RNAV Route Q-8 and revoking RNAV Route Q-18 to solve issues with automated flight plans. The new changes will help ensure the safe and efficient flow of air traffic. This update is considered a regular adjustment with minimal environmental or economic impact and is classified under existing rules for modifying airspace routes.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is changing some airplane paths in Alaska so that flights work better and smoother. They fixed Route Q-8 and stopped using Route Q-18 to solve problems with flight computers getting confused.
