Flying on Victor airways is no safer than flying any other legal route.


Then why do they exist?


Convenience in a pre-GPS world and derived from A-N courses in a pre-VOR
world.

In the VOR world, the ambiguity's in VOR accuracy spreads people laterally
across a Victor airway.

In the GPS world, the accuracy of GPS puts everyone right down the center
line of a Victor airway.

Which situation is intrinsically safer as you near a VOR?
