FAA Says Result Would Be Improved Cross-Border Navigation
The FAA has published in the Federal Register a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to extend two Victor Airways across the
border into Mexico. The agency says the action would enhance
navigation and air traffic control coordination for aircraft
proceeding across the United States-Mexican border.
The NPRM action proposes to modify very high frequency
omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal airways V-135 and V-137 by
extending the airways to the Mexicali, Mexico VOR/DME. This
action V-135 would be amended by adding a segment between the
Mexicali VOR/DME and the Bard, AZ VORTAC. V-137 would be amended by
adding a segment between the Mexicali VOR/DME and the Imperial, CA
VORTAC. Additionally, fixes would be established at the border
crossing points to simplify air traffic control coordination of
flights.
Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting
the views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical,
economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects of the
proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket
No. FAA-2011-0654 and Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-8) and be
submitted in triplicate to the Docket Management Facility. Comments
must be received on or before February 6, 2012
