| Abstract: | Today, Loran is the established and approved supplementary navaid system used for approach and en route conditions in the National Airspace System (NAS). It is also the basis for the current FAA program to open 5000 landing sites to standard instrument approaches otherwise not programmed for instrument aided approaches. Recent new expansions of Loran to areas outside the NAS have been in the news, and this paper focuses on two of them: the North Pacific and the North Atlantic (NAT). The first part addresses cooperative efforts between the United States and the Soviet Union across the Bering Sea, North Pacific area. Areas of concentration will be the extent of Loran coverage in Soviet Far East,the extent of Loran coverage in Soviet Southeast Asia, plans to expand the Soviet system, including coupling the chains of the Eastern U.S.S.R. Chayka with those of the U.S. North Pacific Loran. The second part focuses on the FAA’s request for an Advisory Circular (AC) to guide the aviation public in selecting both equipment and areas of coverage for Loran navigation outside the NAS. This first Auuendix to the Advise? C&I&J will cover the North Atlantic area; subsequent appendices will address other areas of the world. |
