Not sure if they still exist.


I belive that NDB is OTS indefinitely. I had intended to go fly that
airway,
just so I could log that I'd done it.

Yep. The Pamlico NDB at Ocracoke Island. The building was installed and
maintained jointly by NC DOT and NWS, but when the steel building that
housed
the NDB and weather reporting station corroded away, they decided not to
replace
it. Consequently the only instrument approach to Ocracoke Island is now a
GPS
approach. Even that is unusable when the military SUA nearby is active,
since
part of the approach extends into the SUA.

I think there was another NDB-based airway that went to the NDB at
Hatteras, but
that one's gone, too. At least they still maintain the weather reporting
at
Hatteras.

For a long time after the NDBs were gone, the airways were still shown on
charts, but marked out of service. Not sure whether they are still charted
or not.

Remove SHIRT to reply directly.
