    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a final rule to amend RNAV Route Q-33 and Jet Route J-180 due to the planned removal of certain navigation aids. These changes will help maintain safe and efficient air travel by updating how aircraft navigate these routes. The amendments involve replacing certain points along Q-33 with new waypoints and adjusting J-180 to extend between Little Rock, AR, and Foristell, MO. The FAA states these updates do not significantly affect the environment or impose major economic impacts.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to revoke two Alaskan air routes, known as Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-447 and Jet Route J-155, and to amend Jet Route J-115. This change is a result of the removal of the Chandalar Lake Nondirectional Radio Beacon in Alaska. The altered air traffic service routes are designed to maintain safety and efficiency as part of the National Airspace System. These changes will take effect on June 12, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA decided to stop using two special airplane paths in Alaska and make changes to another one because a tool called the Chandalar Lake Nondirectional Radio Beacon is being turned off. They want to make sure that planes can still fly safely and smoothly.
