Proceedings of the World-Wide Omega Data Bank Conference held 2-3 August 1978, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Abstract

The World-Wide Omega Data Bank Conference was attended by 62 persons especially involved with the Omega Navigation System. Some were expressly interested in the certification of this system as sole means of navigation over world-wide air routes, especially over the North Atlantic between Europe and North America. Among those attending were representatives of U.S. Government regulatory agencies, domestic and foreign avionics industries, and the scheduled and nonscheduled airlines both international and domestic. The conference was called to: (1) discuss the requirement for and feasibility of establishing an Omega data bank as a depository for data illustrative of Omega propagation, (2) to outline the resources available, general plan of operation and conditions for participation by interested organizations, and (3) to complete plans for operation of this cooperative international venture. The concept, basis of the requirements, and background were explained by speakers representing the Federal Aviation Administration, United States Coast Guard, and private industry. The technical presentation, comments, and suggestions about facilitating the deployment of in-flight data recorders, and the retrieval, processing, and analysis, and proposed distribution of data are covered in these proceedings.
