Amendment of United States Area Navigation Route T-388 in the Vicinity of Kodiak, Alaska.
Published Date: 2/9/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The FAA wants to update the flight path T-388 near Kodiak, Alaska, to make flying routes smoother and better connected. This change mainly affects pilots and airlines flying in that area. If you have thoughts, speak up by March 26, 2026—no extra costs or delays expected!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
T-388 Extended to Kodiak Airport
The FAA proposes to extend RNAV route T-388 eastward so it ends at the Kodiak, AK VOR/DME at Kodiak Airport. This change is meant to let aircraft receive terminal services while en route to or from Kodiak and to improve route connectivity in that area.
Alternative Route for Revoked Airways
The proposed extension of T-388 would provide an alternative routing option for traffic that previously used the revoked Colored Federal Airway B-27 and VOR Federal Airway V-506. Pilots and airlines that used those airways could use the amended T-388 as another route option near Kodiak, Alaska.
No Significant Small-Business Impact
The FAA certified that this proposed amendment "will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities" under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The agency says the anticipated impact is minimal and limited to air traffic procedures and navigation.
