This revenue windfall could be leveraged for numerous aviation i nfrastructure
improvements, including the replacement of our aging radar surveillance sites, which are
approaching end of service life.
VOR MI NIMUM OPERATING NETWORK (MON)
John Vogelsang (P31) is the Article 114 Representative on the VOR MON project. His
update is below.
The entire VOR MON team met the week after Thanksgiving to discuss future FY
waterfalls and the program in general. We discussed the need for the PBN co - leads to
be involved with the program at the service area level. The first FY17 VOR t hat will be
discontinued is BTL on 2/2/17. Later in FY17 the following VORs will be discontinued:
ECA
MXW
BRD
DDD
ENW
HRK
HWW
RIS
STE
SYO
ABB
DKK
JKS
Most of these are the "low hanging fruit" as they have few, if any , procedures attached to
them. As we go forward into FY18 and beyond, the VORs will have many more
procedures, airways , and fixes attached so there will be more work involved to mitigate
these before they can be turned off and removed from the NAS. The waterfalls are
subject to change based on circumstances but the tentative FY18 waterfall is:
AOO
EWA
HLL
HUL
HVN
HZL
MMJ
OTT
PNE
PXT
RNL
RUT
TDG
ASP
BUU
DAK
FLP
