Narrative:
Aircraft navigating sbound on J79 between chs and omn turn south at the stary intersection. The portion of the airway from stary intersection to the change over point for navigating off the omn VORTAC is the sav VORTAC 180 degree radial until 91 DME south, change to the omn 360 degree radial (at 80 DME). Pilots routinely turn south at stary intersection and deviate east of course toward active warning area W-157A. If the controller is too busy to notice the deviation, aircraft enter warning airspace. In all recent instances, when questioned the pilots are navigating from omn VORTAC when they should still be on sav, but they say they are centerline of J79.

Title: FLC TECHNIQUE NAV ARE NAVIGATING ON THE WRONG VOR AND UNAUTH PENETRATION OF WARNING AREA.
Narrative: ACFT NAVIGATING SBOUND ON J79 BTWN CHS AND OMN TURN S AT THE STARY INTXN. THE PORTION OF THE AIRWAY FROM STARY INTXN TO THE CHANGE OVER POINT FOR NAVIGATING OFF THE OMN VORTAC IS THE SAV VORTAC 180 DEG RADIAL UNTIL 91 DME S, CHANGE TO THE OMN 360 DEG RADIAL (AT 80 DME). PLTS ROUTINELY TURN S AT STARY INTXN AND DEVIATE E OF COURSE TOWARD ACTIVE WARNING AREA W-157A. IF THE CTLR IS TOO BUSY TO NOTICE THE DEV, ACFT ENTER WARNING AIRSPACE. IN ALL RECENT INSTANCES, WHEN QUESTIONED THE PLTS ARE NAVIGATING FROM OMN VORTAC WHEN THEY SHOULD STILL BE ON SAV, BUT THEY SAY THEY ARE CTRLINE OF J79.
