VOR Decommissioning
          Last month, the FAA issued a final policy statement that outlines its plan to establish a VOR Minimum Operational Network (VOR MON) as it moves forward with a NextGen transition to Performance-Based Navigation (PBN). The policy statement includes a list of just over 300 candidate VORs selected for discontinuance as well as the criteria used for phasing them out. The FAA remains committed to retaining a VOR MON that will enable pilots to revert from PBN to conventional navigation in the event of a GPS outage. For more information, and for the complete list of VORs being considered for discontinuance, go to:  https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-07-26/pdf/2016-17579.pdf
