• Test areas in UK and Ireland
• Current chart shift parameters show good agreementon average with transformed coordinates
• Variations (up to 20m at long range)
• Agreement between OSTN97and UKHO method better than 2m
• UK and Ireland OK - but what about other regions?
• What if no published datum, or known parameters?

A Recommended Approach : NavaidsA Recommended Approach : Navaids
1) Re-Position All Fixed Facilities
2) Re-Position all Critical Floating Aids to Navigation
3) Transform Coordinates of Non-Critical AtoN
Provided the transformation is extensible
4) Verify Coordinates of Non-Critical AtoN
Preferably during routine operations
