Section F. Aids to Navigation
Introduction
The Coast Guard ATON program helps to ensure the safety, security, and efficiency of the maritime transportation infrastructure by:
. Operating long-range electronic radio navigation aids (LORAN-C) as well as domestic radio beacons.
. Maintaining short-range ATON, such as lights, fog signals, buoys, day beacons, and radar transponders (RACONS).
AUXAIR assists in these operations through overflights of navigation aids and waterways, observation of aids and markings, reporting of discrepancies and changes, and transport of personnel and materiel.
F.1. Inventory
The inventory of federal ATON maintained by the Coast Guard consists of over 48,000 buoys, beacons, and other ATON. These ATON are distributed along the coastal and inland waters of the United States, its territories, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific. In addition, the Coast Guard regulates more than 45,000 private ATON.
F.2. Assistance
As with many other programs, the Coast Guard Auxiliary provides assistance to the Coast Guard and other concerned federal agencies, including reporting discrepant ATON, verifying private aids, and submitting chart corrections/updates.
