FAA proposes changes to RNAV routes T-306 and T-647 in the Southwestern U.S.
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The proposal would change two low-altitude area navigation routes used by aircraft in the Southwestern United States. The FAA would remove part of RNAV Route T-306 between Blythe, California, and El Paso, Texas, extend T-306 from Blythe to the HUPUP waypoint in Arizona, and create a new RNAV Route T-647. The goal is to reduce conflicts in busy airspace where visual and instrument flight traffic often overlap. Airlines, general aviation pilots, flight planners, and air traffic operators using these routes should review the proposed route changes and may submit comments by July 6, 2026.
