Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document amends FAA Order JO
7400.11F, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021
and effective September 15, 2021. FAA
Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV route T215 by extending the route further to the north and southeast in the central United States. This action is necessary due to the planned decommissioning of the Holston Mountain, TN, HMV
VORTAC, and the Hazard, KY, AZQ
DME.
T215: T215 currently extends between the Holston Mountain, TN, VORTAC, and the GAMKE, IN, waypoint WP. The proposed amendment would include replacing the Holston Mountain, TN, VORTAC
with the HORAL, TN, WP, and replacing the Hazard, KY, DME with the DACEL, KY, WP. The route would be extended south of the HORAL WP to the BURGG, SC, WP. Additionally, the route would be extended to the north of the GAMKE, IN, WP ending at the CPTON, IL, WP, which is approximately 15
nautical miles east of the Bradford, IL, BDF VORTAC. The HILTO, VA, Fix;
FLENR, VA, WP; and RISTE, KY, WP, are not needed for defining the track of T215 so they would be removed from the route legal description. In addition, the HUGEN, KY, Fix would be removed from the route because it does not denote a route turn point. Because a VOR is not a required component for navigating on T215, removal of the Holston Mountain VORTAC would not affect the alignment or navigation along T215.
As amended, T215 would extend between the BURGG, SC, WP, and the CPTON, IL, WP. The full route legal description is listed in The Proposed Amendment section, below.
