    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.

  • 2021-00146 — Proposed Amendment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-34; Northeastern United States
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 3889
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed changes to the Area Navigation (RNAV) route Q-34 in the northeastern United States. This amendment is part of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the National Airspace System by decreasing reliance on ground-based navigation. The FAA seeks public comments on the impact of the proposal, particularly concerning its regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects. The proposal involves extending the Q-34 route from Tennessee to New Jersey, incorporating specific waypoints, and aligning the route with existing high-altitude navigation structures.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change a sky route called Q-34 to make flying smoother and less dependent on old tech. They want people to say whether they think these changes are good or bad for the environment, money, and more.
