The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a final rule to amend and revoke certain Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways in the eastern United States. This change is part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program and is necessitated by the planned decommissioning of specific navigation aids in Florida. The amended airways include V-3, V-35, V-51, and several others, while airways V-295, V-529, and V-601 have been revoked entirely. This rule aims to maintain efficient and safe navigation across the National Airspace System by updating the route structure to reflect current operational needs.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish a new United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-553 and modify several existing RNAV routes (T-356, T-358, and T-479) in the eastern United States. This move is part of the FAA's NextGen initiative to modernize air navigation and improve the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System. The changes involve extending, adding, or realigning sections of these routes to enhance connectivity between areas like Greensboro, NC, and Elkins, WV. The amendments are designed to ensure better air traffic flow without significant economic or environmental impacts.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a correction to a previous rule regarding navigation routes in the eastern United States. This correction adds the Martinsburg, WV (MRB), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) to the description of Route T-356, which was unintentionally left out earlier. This change ensures the route overlays with another Federal airway as required. The amended rule takes effect on April 17, 2025.

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.
