LORAN Chart Links

[Tom/CalClassic]

I'm starting a separate thread for LORAN chart links, to keep them all together. Feel free to post here, but only to provide links to LORAN charts that have LOP lines and can be used with the stations in our 1954 coverage map.


North Atlantic 1954 (most of the North Atlantic except the far north):

www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~299531~90070545

Click the Export button twice, choose Large or larger.


North Atlantic 1955 (includes more of the far north):

North Pacific 1956 (Canada to Alaska, Aleutians, and Japan)

historicalcharts.noaa.gov/search.php

Search for Title: aircraft position

Choose the North Pacific chart.


Eastern Pacific Ocean 1965 (California to Alaska, and Hawaii - many stations redesignated, but still usable if changed to the designations used in the 1954 coverage map)

historicalcharts.noaa.gov/search.php

Search for Chart: 9000

Choose the San Diego to Aleutian Is. and Hawaiian Arch. chart from 1965.


Eastern Pacific Ocean 1950 (California to Alaska, and Hawaii - easier to read than the 1965 chart, for those stations present on this one)

historicalcharts.noaa.gov/search.php

Search for Chart: 9000L

Choose the San Diego to Aleutian Is. and Hawaiian Arch. chart from 1950.


Those are the ones I know about.

There are a few others out there covering the same areas but as far as I know they do not provide any more information than these charts do.

Thanks for posting these and the work done in the addon. I shall be trying out a few transatlantic trips this weekend. I personally also use this 1955 North Atlantic chart (link below) that has LORAN 1L3, 1H0, 1L4, 1H3, and 1H4. It also has the Weather Ships, as well as Consol.

I will test these out in FSM MovingMap to begin with to make sure my mental mathematics still works.

Thanks for the direct link, that’s the 1955 chart I listed above. But I didn’t notice the weather ships and I didn’t know what CONSUL looked like, so thanks for that too.

But I’m glad you’re enjoying the gauge!

Here are a few more I found for the South Pacific (1945).
