• Abstract:
  The Early Implementation Project (EIP), established by FAA Administrator Admiral ; Donald C. Engen, was the initial step in the process of Loran integration into the ; National Airsace System (NAS). The EIP was designed to give the FAA and the Loran ; user community experience in the operational use of Loran. The success of the entire ; Loran aviation program--particularly the EIP--depended upon the active participation ; of many organizations inside and outside the FAA. The experience gained in the EIP ; has helped the FAA make the transition from the limited project to the fully ; operational system at airports around the country and general users operating with ; TSO standard receivers. The EIP also serves as a model of, the introduction of the ; Global Positioning System (GPS) into the NAS during the 1990s.
