The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to some air traffic routes involving VOR Federal Airways due to the planned decommissioning of a navigational aid in Zanesville, Ohio. Specifically, they plan to amend VOR Federal Airways V-38, V-133, and V-144, while V-214 would be completely removed. These changes are part of the FAA's initiative to support newer navigation systems. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal before January 23, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to modify certain air navigation routes due to the planned decommissioning of a navigational aid in Beckley, West Virginia. The action affects several flight paths: amending VOR Federal Airway V-519 and RNAV Route T-426, while revoking Jet Routes J-213 and J-526, and VOR Federal Airways V-59 and V-258. The rule is part of the FAA's initiative to ensure safe and efficient use of airspace and has been determined not to pose any significant regulatory impacts or environmental concerns. These changes will take effect on February 20, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made changes to certain airways near Mankato, Kansas, due to the planned shutdown of a navigational aid. The FAA has adjusted the VOR Federal Airway V-216 and has entirely removed VOR Federal Airways V-549 and V-551. These changes are part of a broader program to update and maintain the airspace system for the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations. The FAA has determined that these adjustments will not significantly affect the environment or small businesses.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delayed the effective date for a rule involving changes to several airways and routes, initially set to take effect on February 20, 2025. The new effective date is April 17, 2025. This delay allows time to update and inspect certain flight procedures near George Bush Intercontinental and San Antonio International Airports. The FAA decided that prior notice and public comment were unnecessary because the extension is brief and does not change the substance of the rule.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend several Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways—specifically V-16, V-103, V-375, and V-473—in the eastern United States. This change is due to the planned decommissioning of the Roanoke, VA, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The amendments are part of efforts to maintain efficient air traffic flow and keep the National Airspace System (NAS) updated. The changes involve removing certain segments of these airways and listing any excluded airspace areas, ensuring that the airways remain operational and safe for aviation use.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) decided to withdraw a proposed rule that aimed to amend and revoke two VOR Federal Airways, V-233 and V-320, due to the planned decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant, MI VOR navigational aid. Originally published in May 2023, this proposal was rendered unnecessary because V-233 was already amended by a separate action, and the decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant VOR has been postponed to July 2026. This delay is needed to further assess and resolve navigational signal coverage issues. Therefore, this proposed rule is no longer proceeding.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to airways V-444 and V-504 in Alaska due to the planned shutdown of the Evansville, AK, Nondirectional Radio Beacon. These changes are part of a larger effort to modernize air navigation in Alaska, shifting toward reliance on newer technology. The proposed amendments aim to maintain safe and efficient airspace operations by updating the airways' structures, with V-444 and V-504 being redefined to account for the loss of the Evansville Beacon. Public comments on these changes are invited until February 13, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule to modify certain airways and establish a new area navigation route near Three Rivers, Texas. This is due to the planned decommissioning of the Three Rivers VOR, part of an effort to update the navigation aid system. The proposal outlines changes to VOR Federal Airways V-161, V-163, and V-568, and introduces a new RNAV Route T-545, which would serve RNAV-equipped aircraft and help maintain efficient navigation in the area. The public is invited to submit comments on these proposals before the deadline in January 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delayed the effective date of a rule initially established on January 16, 2025, regarding changes to various airways and a navigation route in Industry, TX. This delay, moving the effective date to August 7, 2025, allows additional time for redesigning and inspecting a flight procedure into George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport, which failed its initial evaluations. The decision was deemed necessary to ensure safety and efficiency without prior public comment due to the minor nature of the delay.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing amendments to Jet Routes J-83 and J-85, as well as VOR Federal Airways V-415 and V-605 in the eastern United States to support the relocation of the Spartanburg, SC VORTAC. This project involves adjusting several flight paths to prevent conflicts with nearby routes and updating the navigation points due to the VORTAC's new location. The FAA has determined that these changes are necessary for maintaining efficient air traffic flow and safety in the National Airspace System. Public comments on this proposed rule are invited until February 3, 2025.
