AOPA's multi-year bid for RNAV terminal transition routes, also referred to as tango or T-routes, is beginning to pay big dividends for the general aviation community. These new pathways in the sky are now available in numerous U.S. locations, and more T-routes are in the works. T-routes give pilots the ability to file and fly direct IFR routings around or through busy Class B and C terminal airspace, and in remote areas where the fixed locations of VORs, NDBs, and other ground-based navaids make direct routings unlikely or impossible. T-routes do this without increasing the workload of air traffic controllers, and come with a key safety benefit as well.
