Abstract
This rule realigns Federal Airway 369 (V-369) located in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, area. Specifically, V-369 will be realigned to include the newly activated Groesbeck, TX, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) Navigational Aid (NAVAID) as part of its route structure. As a result, the minimum en route altitude (MEA) on V-369 between the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC), TX, and the Navasota, TX, VORTAC will be lowered. Lowering the MEA increases the capacity of the airway because it increases the number of altitudes that are available for air traffic control assignment to airway users. Overall, this action increases the efficiency of operations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
