SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2020-1147 in the Federal Register (86 FR 39952; July 26, 2021), amending RNAV route Q-29 in the northeastern United States. The Q-route amendment supports the strategy to transition the NAS from a ground-based navigation aid and radar-based system to a satellite-based PBN system. The final point, DUNOM, was incorrectly spelled in the legal description and this action only corrects that error.

United States area navigation routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
