    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.
