## Abstract

This action establishes a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway (V-457) in Alaska. The FAA is establishing this Federal airway for the following reasons: (1) The conversion of this uncharted nonregulatory route to a VOR Federal airway will add to the instrument flight rules (IFR) airway and route infrastructure in Alaska; (2) pilots will be provided with minimum en route altitudes and minimum obstruction clearance altitudes information; (3) this amendment establishes controlled airspace, thus eliminating some of the commercial IFR operations in uncontrolled airspace; and (4) the addition of this route improves the management of air traffic operations and thereby enhances safety.
