Abstract
This action amends the legal descriptions of three Jet routes that use the Bellingham, WA, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) in their route structures. Currently, the VORTAC and the International Airport share the "Bellingham" name. However, the navigational aid is approximately nine nautical miles (NM) north of airport. This has caused confusion among users. To eliminate this confusion, the Bellingham VORTAC will be renamed the "Whatcom VORTAC," and all the jet routes with "Bellingham VORTAC" included in their legal descriptions will be amended to reflect the navigational aid name change.
