The report contains the results of the AN/GRN-20B TACAN special evaluation at Niagara Falls International Airport, NY, conducted during the period 23 September to 3 October 1974. Ground evaluation results describe maintenance actions taken to prepare the facility for the flight evaluation. The problems of unreliable commercial power and a high antenna failure rate are also discussed. A history of the facility is included. Flight evaluation results include the results of coverage checks, interference field investigations, normal and low power comparisons, course structure, and the TACAN periodic flight inspection. Taken together, the ground and the flight evaluation results fully define the capabilities and limitations of the TACAN. The data presented in this report can be used as a valid guide to anticipated performance until there is a significant change in the ground equipment or until a change occurs in the horizon screening.
