Abstract
This rule realigns four Federal airways located in the Helena, AR, area. This realignment will coincide with the activation of the Marvell, AR, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) Navigational Aid (NAVAID). The realignment of airspace and activation of the Marvell VOR/DME will reroute aircraft operations around the Memphis International Airport Class B airspace area. Additionally, the Marvell VOR/DME will be used as a feeder fix into Memphis, TN. This action will aid flight planning, reduce en route and terminal delays, and enhance the management of air traffic operations in the Memphis, TN, Class B airspace area.
