colored airways?

Something to do wit
L/MF navigation, but I don't know what that is

L/MF is low/medium frequency. NDBs fit in there

There is at least one colored airway that I use regularly. One of the departur
procedures from Juneau, Alaska (PAJN) includes a stretch of an Amber airwa
based on the Sumner Strait NDB (SQM), which is near the Level Island VOR (LVD)

Chris,

First, thats "Low Frequency American" airway to you, Mister

Second, as others have pointed out, these are still used extensively up
here in Alaska. Most are defined by NDBs, while some are "one ended",
and terminate at a VOR. Heck, we still routinely fly (gasp!) NDB
approaches, although the GPS is certainly taking over in popularity.

Third, ever hear of an "NDB/DME" navaid? Yep, we have 'em, very handy
in the bush.

Happy Flying!

There was a Green airway based on the Galveston NDB that was
decommissioned within the last 3 years (the airway, not the NDB). I am
not sure if it was the last one or not.. but it ran across the Gulf to Fl.

Canada though, and are still mentioned in the FAR's. Something to do with
L/MF navigation, but I don't know what that is.

Heck, I can't even find mention of them on Gene's site, so they MUST be long
forgotten.

Someone please give me a history lesson here. Thanks.

As has been mentioned earlier on this thread, there is a G13 in eastern
North Carolina along the barrier islands.
