FAA proposes changes to VOR Federal Airways V-44, V-170, and V-312

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes changes to three VOR Federal Airways in the eastern United States. - Government buyer: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation; no sub-agency or office is identified. - Proposed changes: Amend portions of V-44, V-170, and V-312 in response to the planned decommissioning of the Andrews, Maryland VORTAC. - Navigation impact: Remove airway segments that would lack sufficient ground-based navigation coverage; adjacent VOR and RNAV routes and air traffic control radar vectors would remain available alternatives. - Procurement status: This is a proposed regulatory rulemaking, not a procurement. No products, services, quantities, part numbers, OEMs, vendors, or contract value are identified.

Description
