The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established two new Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes, Q-162 and Q-166, in the southwest United States. These routes provide alternative paths for air traffic between southwest Arizona and western Texas, especially useful during severe spring and summer weather. This is part of an ongoing shift to a satellite-based navigation system in the National Airspace System. The regulation is technical in nature and not expected to have significant economic or environmental impacts.
Simple Explanation
In the story, the FAA made two new invisible roads in the sky between Arizona and Texas to help airplanes fly safely when the weather gets really bad. These sky roads use special technology that talks to satellites so planes know where to go, just like using a map on a phone.
