Because the Omega navigation system ceased operation on September

(TSOs) and revoke all associated Omega Technical Standard Order
Authorizations (TSOAs). Currently, the FAA database contains three TSOs
and numerous TSOAs for the design and manufacture of Omega avionics
equipment. This announcement serves as notice to all Omega TSOA holders
that the FAA intends to cancel all TSOs (including active historical
TSOs) and revoke all TSOAs for Omega avionics equipment. The affected TSOs are as follows:
TSOC94, Airborne Omega Receiving Equipment;
TSOC94a, Omega Receiving Equipment operating within the Radio Frequency Range of 10.2 to 13.6 Kilohertz; and
TSOC 120, Airborne Area Navigation Equipment Using Omega /VLF Inputs. How to Obtain Copies
