Hello, as previously discussed here [LOWI LOC DME East APP (LOC26) missing in 2609 - #7 by NAVData](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/lowi-loc-dme-east-app-loc26-missing-in-2609/24261/7) , the promised return of LOC DME East APP to the Navigraph NavData has not yet happened 😕 as the original post is locked, I felt it necessary to open another one to ask about progress. It has been two AIRACs already since its removal and it’s quite sad to see it, being such a famous approach, also for the flight sim community, go ☹ and it seems like the LOC R 26 is now called LOC26 in your data? ---

Hi Jakob, I have rechecked the database, and the LOC DME E 26 is still not included. We must ask Jeppesen if there is any reason for that. I´m sorry. What I don´t understand in your posting is the LOC R 26 → LOC 26 assumption. We don´t have a LOC 26; we have a LOC 26-R (or LOC R 26) in our data. My assumption for the future is that LOC 26 is the LOC DME E 26 approach, but again, that’s only an assumption on my part. We will try to find an answer as to why the LOC 26 / LOC DME East 26 is still missing … Cheers, Richard ---

Hi Richard, thanks for the info. I checked the ini A350 and in there I only have the LOC26 (with the encoding of the LOC R) but no LOC R, see the attached image. I have not tried it with another plane yet as I am still in cruise ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/8/a/8a301c5f93983e95d608d145f01d9a265fad7e30.jpeg) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/9/f/9f182597b0514bf32dbe1adffd19f86b04fea4a5.jpeg) ---

Hi Jakob, Thank you - I can confirm this observation, but it is not a data issue, as we offer L26-R in the Inibuild database. My assumption is that Inibuild cut/remove something here. I have tested the Synaptic A220, which also uses the same database as Inibuild, and here you see the correct approach identifier: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/a/0/a0706530cf669c2d1ce90a646542bbac9bcbc809.jpeg) I’m not sure whether this is an Inibuild bug or intentional. I´m sorry. Cheers, Richard ---

I see, thanks for the heads up ---
