FAA Scrapping Florida Air Routes as Navigation Towers Go Dark

Published Date: 2/10/2025

Rule

Summary

The FAA is updating some VOR airways and removing others in the eastern U.S. because several old navigation stations in Florida are shutting down. Pilots flying these routes will see changes soon, helping modernize air travel while keeping things safe. These updates support a bigger plan to keep the most important navigation tools working well without extra costs.

Florida VORs Shut; Airways Amended or Revoked

The FAA is changing several VOR federal airways in the eastern U.S.: it amends V-3, V-35, V-51, V-97, V-157, V-159, V-225, V-437, V-492, V-521, and V-537 and revokes V-295, V-529, and V-601. This action is because the Cypress, FL (CYY) VOR/DME; La Belle, FL (LBV) VORTAC; Pahokee, FL (PHK) VOR/DME; and Treasure, FL (TRV) VORTAC are planned for decommissioning, and it supports the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program without extra costs.
