Aviation officials trying to safeguard small planes from potentially deadly jet turbulence are proposing more than a dozen new air routes over Anchorage.
In the Federal Aviation Administration's most sweeping redesign of Anchorage's crowded airspace in more than 20 years, officials want to add 13 routes and reconfigure seven routes over the Anchorage Bowl as early as next summer.
The proposed rules are aimed at pilots who fly small planes, including military pilots. Other changes for larger military aircraft and commercial airliners are in the works.
