Travis AFB C-17 Use of Instrument Routes 264, 275, 280, 281 and 282

Travis AFB C-17 Use of Instrument Routes 264, 275, 280, 281 and 282

The Air Force proposes to conduct low level navigation training for C-17 aircrews based at Travis AFB using five military training routes in central Nevada that were formerly owned by Mountain Home AFB in southwestern Idaho. The purposes of the proposed action is to establish Travis AFB C 17 as the primary user along these routes and allow Travis AFB to become the scheduling and coordinating agency for Instrument Routes (IR) 264, IR 275, IR 280, IR 281, and IR 282. Each route has multiple segments allowing for a variety of entry and exit points. An estimated 104 annual sorties would be flown for each route (78 daytime and 26 nighttime). No modification of the currently published route structures or changes to any routes would be required. No new construction would occur.
