The Long Range Navigation (LORAN-C) System will be an interim supplemental navigation system which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will begin implementing in the National Airspace System (NAS) in fiscal year 1987. The purpose of the LORAN-C System will be to provide the aviation community with nonprecision instrument approaches at airports with and without existing navigational aids. The FAA plans to award a contract in September 1986 to purchase 112 LORAN-C monitor receivers. These aviation monitor receivers will be used to: (1) Monitor the signal integrity of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) LORAN-C, (2) support nonprecision instrument approaches, (3) provide data to forecast changes in LORAN-C signal time differences, and (4) provide a data source for the Notice to Airmen (NOTAMS).
