Quantitative and qualitative observations were made on the Loran-C in general aviation aircraft. The evaluation of Loran-C for both cross country flights and nonprecision approaches was conducted under simulated instrument flight rules conditions. Particular emphasis was placed on the reliability and failure of Loran-C equipment as well as its susceptibility to atmospheric effects such as P static. Efforts were made to quantify the long term stability of the Loran-C time difference grid. Several E field antenna configurations were also evaluated in terms of performance. Significant results are reported.
