This report contains the description and results of a Loran-C flight test program conducted in the continental United States (CONUS). The data collection period was during July 1983. The purpose of the program was to collect Loran-C signal coverage and accuracy data representative of low altitude, low speed operations typical of helicopters and general aviation aircraft. The test aircraft used was a Beechcraft Queen Air, Model 65. The aircraft was configured with a data collection palate and multipin electrical connectors located in the aircraft cabin. A Teledyne TDL-711 navigation receiver was used in the test, utilizing an E-field antenna mounted on the top of the fuselage. A microprocessor controlled data collection system, utilizing a scanning DME and other aircraft navigation instruments, was used to record data and establish aircraft reference position.
