Figure 5: New VOR service volumes
Progress on new VOR standard service volumes
MON VORs will be flight inspected (see Figure 5) and their class codes changed to the new SSVs. To date, the majority of the 499 new VOR SSVs have been published.
VORs that do not meet the VOR MON criteria are targeted for discontinuance. By the end of 2024, 194 VORs of 303 targeted VORs were scheduled to be discontinued. By 2030, the FAA plans to reduce the total number of VOR stations in the contiguous United States to 580.
During a GPS disruption in the contiguous U.S., the MON will enable aircraft to navigate through the affected area or to a safe landing at a MON airport without reliance on GPS. Pilots can tune and identify a VOR at or above 5,000 feet AGL and navigate VOR-to-VOR or along airways through the interference or navigate to an airport within 100 nautical miles to fly an ILS, LOC or VOR approach.
