Where can FAA preferred routes be found?

• A. NOTAMs
• B. AFD - Airport Facility Directory, aka Chart Supplement
• C. FAA En Route Supplement
• D. IFR Enroute Low Altitude Chart

Answer: (B)

FAA preferred routes are sets of recommended IFR routings designed to streamline planning and ATC flow. They’re published in the Airport Facility Directory (Chart Supplement), which compiles airport-specific information and includes the published preferred routes for departures and arrivals. This makes the AFD the primary source for locating these routings, alongside other airport data like frequencies and procedures. NOTAMs cover temporary changes, and enroute publications like the En Route Supplement or IFR Enroute Low Altitude Chart focus more on general enroute navigation and airways rather than the airport-specific published preferred routes.
