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.
