Astoria VOR 8 Decommissioning Considered
UPDATE: 5/22/2025: FAA has removed the VOR Runway 8 approach for consideration for decommissioning. Thanks to all who provided input.
Astoria Airport's Runway 8 VOR approach is currently under consideration for decommissioning by the FAA.
With everything moving towards RNAV, VOR approaches may seem like an anachronism. But they still provide a vital backup for IFR operations in the event of GPS jamming or failure. If this is important to you, contact David Parker at david.g.parker@faa.gov" with your comments.
