Background

Currently, there are no published, public-use, helicopter-specific IFR RNAV routes in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). Helicopter operator representatives have asked the FAA to develop such routes since helicopter flight performance characteristics differ significantly from high performance turboprop and turbojet aircraft. Additionally, published helicopter RNAV routes would increase the safety and efficiency of helicopter operations by affording pilots greater situational awareness and enabling more direct IFR routing. The proposed routes would also make available lower IFR altitudes, which could potentially help helicopters avoid icing conditions during winter operations. Further, TK routes would expand opportunities for helicopter operators to take advantage of developments in Performance Based Navigation technology. TK routes would be designated only within U.S. domestic airspace. Helicopter RNAV Route Identification and Charting

The proposed helicopter RNAV routes would be identified by the prefix ‘‘TK’’ followed by a three digit number. The

‘‘T ’’ prefix is one of several International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) designators used to identify domestic RNAV routes. ‘‘K’’ is an ICAO designator used to indicate routes primarily for use by helicopters. The FAA has been allocated the number block 501 through 650 for use in identifying U.S. TK
routes.

As with the existing T routes, TK routes would be depicted in blue on the appropriate IFR en route low altitude chart(s). Each route depiction would include the route number along with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA) to ensure obstacle clearance and communications reception. The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 that would establish the first two low altitude IFR helicopter RNAV Routes. The proposed routes would provide more direct routing for IFR helicopters in the northeast corridor between the New York City and Washington, DC, metropolitan areas. The routes would serve New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC area airports/heliports. The proposed routes would begin and end at points air traffic control uses for routing helicopters. The new helicopter RNAV routes, as described below, would be designated TK–502 and TK– 504, and would be depicted on the appropriate IFR Enroute Low Altitude charts. Only RNAV-equipped helicopters capable of filing flight plan equipment suffix ‘‘ G’’ could file for the TK routes. The TK routes are being proposed to enhance safety and to facilitate the more flexible and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR helicopter operations.

The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘ significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘ significant rule ’’ under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the route structure as required to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic.

Environmental Review

The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA is withdrawing the Notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on September 3, 2010, to remove VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal airway V–284, which extends between Sea Isle, NJ and Cedar Lake, NJ. Upon further consideration, the FAA has determined that an operational requirement for the airway still exists; therefore, withdrawal of the proposed rule is warranted.

**DATES :**  Effective date 0901 UTC, March 8, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  History

On September 3, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register an NPRM proposing to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by removing VOR Federal Airway V–284 (75 FR 54058), Docket No. FAA–2010–0813. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. Four comments were received.

Discussion of Comments

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and three individuals submitted comments on the proposal. All commenters opposed the removal of V–284. The commenters stated that revocation of V–284 would reduce efficiency of operations for non-Global Positioning System equipped aircraft transiting the Delaware-New Jersey-New York City-Philadelphia areas. For such aircraft, the VOR Federal airway system remains the primary means of navigation for Instrument Flight Rules operations. The commenters also indicated that the elimination of this convenient and viable route could require pilots to deviate from their desired course, adding flight time and expense to their operations.

FAA’s Conclusions

Upon further consideration, we have determined that the removal of V–284 is not warranted at this time. Therefore, the NPRM is withdrawn. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
