  • 2025-01890 — Revocation of Colored Federal Airway Green 6 (G-6) and Alaskan Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Federal Airways V-459 and V-496 in Alaska
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8510
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed revoking certain airways in Alaska due to plans to decommission two radio beacons. These changes will affect Colored Federal Airway Green 6 (G-6) and Alaskan Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-459 and V-496. The FAA assures that alternative navigation routes, like the RNAV Route T-380, can substitute these functions. Public comments on this proposal are invited until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to stop using some special paths in the sky for airplanes in Alaska because they plan to turn off certain guiding signals. But don't worry, they have backup paths for planes to use instead!

  • 2021-00655 — Proposed Establishment, Amendment, and Revocation of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes; Northeast United States
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 5046
    Reading Time:about 20 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to air traffic routes in the northeastern United States to improve airspace efficiency and reduce reliance on ground-based systems. The proposal includes amending several existing routes, removing some routes entirely, and creating new routes, particularly affecting VOR Federal airways and RNAV routes (T-routes and Q-routes). These adjustments aim to support the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project and enhance the overall operation of the National Airspace System (NAS). Comments on the proposed changes are invited before March 5, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change some airplane paths in the Northeast to make flying smoother and less dependent on old ground systems, like using fewer bumpy roads and more smooth highways for cars.

  • 2025-02054 — Establishment and Amendment of Multiple United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; Eastern United States
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8775
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish a new United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-553 and modify several existing RNAV routes (T-356, T-358, and T-479) in the eastern United States. This move is part of the FAA's NextGen initiative to modernize air navigation and improve the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System. The changes involve extending, adding, or realigning sections of these routes to enhance connectivity between areas like Greensboro, NC, and Elkins, WV. The amendments are designed to ensure better air traffic flow without significant economic or environmental impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making some changes to imaginary highways in the sky called RNAV routes to make flying safer and faster. They are adding a new route and changing some others to help planes travel better between places like North Carolina and West Virginia.

  • 2021-03842 — Amendment and Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; South-Central Florida Metroplex Project
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10808
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes two existing low altitude RNAV (area navigation) routes and introduces nine new ones to support the South-Central Florida Metroplex Project. These changes aim to reduce reliance on ground-based navigation systems and improve efficiency in the National Airspace System. The adjustments, effective April 22, 2021, are intended to enhance air traffic procedures without significant regulatory or environmental impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made some changes to the flight paths planes use in the sky above South-Central Florida so that planes can fly more smoothly using satellites instead of relying too much on ground signals. This helps planes get where they're going faster and more efficiently.
