Proposed Realignment of Federal Airways and Jet Routes; TX

Samenvatting

This document proposes to realign six jet routes and eight Federal airways in the Amarillo, TX, area. The FAA is proposing this action due to the decommissioning of the Amarillo, TX, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the commissioning of the Panhandle, TX, VORTAC, which will be located approximately 4.3 nautical miles (NM) to the southwest of the present location of the Amarillo VORTAC. This proposal would realign the affected jet routes and Federal airways from the Amarillo VORTAC to the Panhandle VORTAC. The FAA is taking this action to more effectively manage air traffic in the Amarillo, TX, area.
