Departure Headings at Nashville International Airport (BNA)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to update departure headings at Nashville International Airport (BNA) in Tennessee. Under the proposed changes ( https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/community_engagement/nash_bna ), aircraft would follow similar paths to existing ones. These updates will improve lateral and vertical separation of aircraft within Nashville’s airspace and allow air traffic controllers to get aircraft up, out, and on their way more efficiently. The purpose of this workshop is to share information and answer your questions about the departure headings. The virtual meeting will take place on Thursday, March 6, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. Central. You can register on
HNL Airport Arrival and Departure Procedures
Arrival and departure procedures are being strictly interpreted at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), especially since the January 23, 2025 reopening of Runway 4R-22L (and temporary closure of RWY 4L-22R). To avoid a potential pilot deviation, precise compliance with arrival and departure procedures is required; for one example, aircraft on the North Six Arrival must cross RWY 8L at the specific crossing point detailed in the arrival procedure. As ever, all pilots are reminded to review all current NOTAMS and all applicable arrival and departure procedures before operating at HNL Airport.
