From: Cynthia Abelman
Chief, Aviation Services Branch
Subject: Change of name and identifier for the Vero Beach
Florida VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) Aviation
Radio Navigation Site Effective November 15, 2012
Note: The following changes have no impact on NOAA Weather
Wire Service subscribers.
Effective Thursday, November 15, 2012, at 1500 Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC), 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, the NWS
will cease using the 3-letter identifier VRB and begin using the
3-letter identifier of TRV.
On September 20, 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
changed the name of the Vero Beach VOR from Vero Beach to
Treasure. With this name change, the 3-letter identifier changed
from VRB to TRV. The location of the VOR has not changed.
VORs are used by pilots for navigation and also used in aviation
weather forecasts and SIGMETs as reference points in defining the
area of weather hazards. Since NWS uses VOR locations to define
areal coverage of weather hazards in addition to their use as
navigation aids, the NWS will make this name and identifier
change to maintain consistent terminology.
