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!
