Realignment of Federal Airways and Jet Routes; TX

الملخص

This rule realigns three jet routes and eight Federal airways in the Austin, TX, area. The FAA is taking this action due to the decommissioning of the Austin Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the installation of the Centex VORTAC, located approximately 10.5 nautical miles (NM) to the northeast of the present location of the Austin VORTAC. This action realigns the affected jet routes and Federal airways from the Austin VORTAC to the Centex VORTAC. The FAA is taking this action in support of a plan to close the Austin Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, and transfer airport operations to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
