History
On July 6, 2005, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking to establish four
RITTR’s in the Cincinnati, OH, terminal
area (70 FR 38826). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on this proposal to the FAA.
Two comments were received in
response to the NPRM.
SUMMARY: This action establishes three
Area Navigation Instrument Flight Rules
Terminal Transition Routes (RITTR) in
the Cincinnati, OH, terminal area. The
FAA originally proposed to establish
four routes as part of this action, but one
route (T–212) was deleted because it did
not meet RITTR design criteria and its
short length would provide limited
benefits. RITTR’s are low altitude Air
Traffic Service (ATS) routes, based on
Area Navigation (RNAV), for use by
aircraft having Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR)-approved Global Positioning
System (GPS)/Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) equipment. The
FAA is taking this action to enhance
safety and facilitate the more flexible
Analysis of Comments
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association wrote in support of the
proposal. The second commenter
expressed general support for the
concept of terminal transition routes to
assist IFR traffic transitioning Class B
airspace, but stated that the proposed
Cincinnati RITTRs do not accomplish
this, and that IFR traffic (usually general
aviation flights) would continue to be
forced to make long detours around the
Class B airspace. The commenter
recommended that the FAA design
transition routes that extend diagonally
(northwest to southeast and southwest
to northeast) across the Cincinnati/
Northern Kentucky International
Airport (CVG) Class B airspace area. The
FAA responds that these RITTRs are

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 26, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
part of the initial steps in providing
RNAV-based alternative routes through
Class B airspace at major airports. A
number of factors were considered in
the design of the Cincinnati RITTRs,
including current arrival and departure
traffic patterns at CVG, general aviation
traffic flows transitioning the area, and
chart clutter. The proposed RITTRs do
provide more direct alternative routes
than are currently available via the
Federal airway structure in the CVG
terminal area. As operational experience
is gained with the RITTR program,
refinements to the route structure will
be made where needed. While the FAA
is not adding additional CVG RITTRs at
this time, it will consider the
recommendation for additional CVG
RITTRs in future en route and terminal
area NAS efficiency reviews.
Discussion
In reviewing the configuration of the
proposed RITTRs, the FAA determined
that several adjustments to the routes as
proposed in the NPRM are required.
One of the design criteria for RITTRs
specifies that the routes must begin and
end at a fix or navigation aid located on
the existing Federal airway structure.
The purpose of this requirement is to
provide connectivity between the RITTR
and the low altitude en route structure
to enhance the expeditious movement of
suitably equipped en route IFR aircraft
through or around a Class B airspace
area. The proposed routes T–212, T–
215, and T–217 did not fully meet this
criteria. As a result, the following
corrective action is being taken in this
rule. Proposed route T–212 is
withdrawn. It was determined that, due
to the short length of route T–212 (less
than 15 miles), the route would be of
minimal usefulness to the National
Airspace System (NAS). To remedy the
problem with the other two routes, the
FAA is making the following changes.
Route T–215, as proposed, extended
between the Lexington, KY, (HYK) very
high frequency omnidirectional range/
tactical air navigation (VORTAC) and
the new GAMKE, IN, waypoint (WP).
However, the proposed GAMKE WP is
not located on the airway structure.
Therefore, GAMKE will be relocated
slightly south of its proposed position to
place it on existing Federal Airway V–
47. This rule adjusts the GAMKE
latitude and longitude coordinates to
reflect the change. This change will
bring route T–215 into compliance with
the design criteria.
Similarly, route T–217 does not meet
the design criteria because one of its end
points, the Springfield, OH, (SGH) very
high frequency omnidirectional range/
distance measuring equipment (VOR/
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:58 Oct 25, 2005
Jkt 208001
DME) is not a part of the airway
structure. To remedy this discrepancy,
route T–217 will be extended north of
SGH to the existing BONEE fix, which
is located on Federal Airway V–12. In
addition, a minor realignment of T–217
will be made to the south of SGH to
cross the existing PRUDE, OH, fix,
which is located on V–5. This will
insert two additional links to the VOR
Federal airway structure in the T–217
description.
Finally, in the NPRM, the BOSTR,
HEDEN, and MILAN points were
identified as WPs. These points are
actually existing charted ‘‘fixes,’’
therefore an editorial change to the
affected route descriptions is being
made in this rule to replace ‘‘WP’’ with
‘‘fix.’’
With the exception of editorial
changes, and the changes discussed
above, this amendment is the same as
that proposed in the notice.
Low altitude Area Navigation Routes
are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005
and effective September 15, 2005, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The routes listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
establishing three RITTRs, designated
T–213, T–215, and T–217, in the CVG
terminal area. These routes will be
depicted in blue on the appropriate IFR
en route low altitude charts. RITTRs are
low altitude RNAV routes designed to
facilitate the expeditious movement of
IFR overflight traffic around or through
certain congested terminal airspace
areas. The routes may be used by GNSSequipped aircraft that are capable of
filing flight plan equipment suffix ‘‘/G.’’
The FAA is taking this action to
enhance safety and facilitate the more
flexible and efficient use of the
navigable airspace for en route IFR
aircraft transitioning through the CVG
Class B airspace area.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;
February 26, 1979); and (3) does not
warrant preparation of a regulatory
evaluation as the anticipated impact is
so minimal. Since this is a routine
PO 00000

matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

airspace at Binghamton, NY. The
development of multiple area navigation
(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAP) for numerous airports
within the Binghamton, NY
geographical area with approved
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
and the resulting overlap of designated
Class E–5 airspace have made this
action necessary. This action
consolidates the Class E–5 airspace
designations for five airspace and one
heliport and results in the rescission of
the five Class E–5 descriptions through

History
On August 23, 2005, a notice
proposing to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
Part 71) by consolidating existing Class
E–5 airspace designations in the
Binghamton, NY metropolitan area and

incorporating those areas into the
Binghamton, NY description was
published in the Federal Register (70
FR 49221–49222). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking proceeding by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments to the proposal
were received. The rule is adopted as
proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace
docket are based on North American
Datum 83. Class E airspace area
designations for airspace extending
upward from the surface are published
in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9N, dated September 1, 2005 and
effective September 16, 2005, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be amended
in the order.
This amendment to Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) provides controlled Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 ft
above the surface for aircraft conducting
IFR operations within the Binghamton,
NY Class E–5 airspace description. The
amendment consolidates the Class E–5
airspace descriptions for Cortland, NY;
Elmira, NY; Ithaca, NY; Endicott, NY;
ans Sayre, PA, into one airspace
designation for Binghamton, NY, and
the designations for those areas will be
removed by separate rulemaking.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation it
is certified that this rule will not have
signicant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

design criteria.
Similarly, route T-217 does not meet the design criteria because
one of its end points, the Springfield, OH, (SGH) very high frequency
omnidirectional range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME) is not a
part of the airway structure. To remedy this discrepancy, route T-217
will be extended north of SGH to the existing BONEE fix, which is
located on Federal Airway V-12. In addition, a minor realignment of T-
217 will be made to the south of SGH to cross the existing PRUDE, OH,
fix, which is located on V-5. This will insert two additional links to
the VOR Federal airway structure in the T-217 description.
Finally, in the NPRM, the BOSTR, HEDEN, and MILAN points were
identified as WPs. These points are actually existing charted
``fixes,'' therefore an editorial change to the affected route
descriptions is being made in this rule to replace ``WP'' with ``fix.''
With the exception of editorial changes, and the changes discussed
above, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice.
Low altitude Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 6011
of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005 and effective September
15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The routes
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by establishing three RITTRs, designated T-213, T-215, and T-
217, in the CVG terminal area. These routes will be depicted in blue on
the appropriate IFR en route low altitude charts. RITTRs are low
altitude RNAV routes designed to facilitate the expeditious movement of
IFR overflight traffic around or through certain congested terminal
airspace areas. The routes may be used by GNSS-equipped aircraft that
are capable of filing flight plan equipment suffix ``/G.'' The FAA is
taking this action to enhance safety and facilitate the more flexible
and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR aircraft
transitioning through the CVG Class B airspace area.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
