Alaska Skies Get a Makeover: Old V-320 Out, New T-550 In

## Summary

The FAA is planning to retire an old Alaska flight path called V-320 because its signals don’t work well there. Instead, they’ll create a new, modern route named T-550 near Anchorage to keep flights smooth and safe. Pilots and airlines flying in Alaska should get ready, and comments on this change are open until April 10, 2026—no extra costs involved!

## Abstract

This action proposes to revoke Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-320 in Alaska due to navigational signal limits causing portions of this route to be unusable. There are two routes with the identifier V-320, one located in the state of Alaska and one located in the state of Michigan. This action only proposes to affect the V-320 located in Alaska. The FAA is also proposing to establish United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-550 near Anchorage, AK.
