  • Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10804
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule amending certain VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) airways near Anthony, KS, due to the planned removal of a major navigation aid. Specifically, this action impacts VOR airways V-12, V-74, and V-516 by removing certain segments of these routes to maintain safe and efficient air traffic operations. This change is part of the FAA's effort to update the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) and does not significantly impact small entities or the environment.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is changing some airplane routes in Kansas because a tool that helps pilots find their way is being removed. This change is like updating a map to make sure planes can still fly safely.

    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    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.

  • 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.
