This avionics cost study of the Long-Range Navigation (LORAN-C) system used by low-performance general-aviation aircraft, performed for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Systems Engineering Management (OSEM), was based on a uniform approach to cost estimating with the assistance of a pricing model. The system evaluated is the Teledyne TDL-711 LORAN Micro-Navigator, with appropriate design and packaging modifications to meet the less stringent environmental and packaging requirements of general aviation. The LORAN-C system in its airborne configuration requires a receiver, a control and display unit, and an antenna with a built-in coupler. The expected costs of the avionics required by single- and light-twin-engine aircraft were developed by using a parametric cost-estimating model. These costs, shown in Table S-1, are in 1977 dollars, without inflation, and are based on annual production quantities of 1,000 units. Development costs were amortized over a 3,000-unit production quantity. The 1977 dollars were used to facilitate comparison with other cost results of alternative navigation systems previously evaluated by ARINC Research for the FAA. (Author)
