Results obtained in completing 257 nonprecision approaches and 44 data flights are discussed. The flights were initiated in the summer months and extended through four seasons and practically all weather conditions typical of the northeastern U.S. A preliminary assessment of the available data indicates that Loran-C signals are suitable as a means of navigation during enroute, terminal, and nonprecision approach operations and that the performance exceeds the minimum accuracy criteria specified by the applicable FAA advisory circular. Enroute operations are found to remain within + or - 0.75 nm of the desired track, compared with the requirement of + or - 2.5 nm. Terminal operations remained within + or - 0.65 nm of the desired track, compared with the FAA circular's requirement of + or - 1.5 nm; the nonprecision final approach operations were within the limit of + or - 0.6 nm for all operations.
