During this major Airspace Restructure flight operators can expect to see FAA ATC Traffic Management Initiatives in place for the first 3 to 7 days as the controllers become familiar with the airspace/airway changes. Traffic Management Initiatives could include Airspace Flow Programs for Jacksonville and Miami Centers (bi-directional), metering and mile in trail restrictions. Daily details on which traffic management initiatives will be used can be found in the FAA ATC Command Center Advisories and the FAA OIS webpage (links for both below).

The FAA has provided detailed resources that include graphics of the new airways/airspace as well as new preferred routes into and out of the region for the major Florida airports. Operators can use the preferred routes listed for the primary commercial airports to assist them with the correct routes for the nearby satellite airports (i.e. ORL to TEB could be determined by using the MCO to TEB listed route and using the correct SID for ORL to the initial fix). The FAA has also provided “overflight” preferred routes for operators not departing/landing the region, however, utilizing the affected airspace in the “enroute” environment. All of these FAA resources on the new/revised Airspace Route Structure can be found on the NBAA webpage (link below). These FAA presentations include explanation of the airspace/airway changes as well as the new preferred routes into and out of Florida and the overflight routes for operators overflying the affected airspace.
