The design and flight test of a lateral guidance system for flying approaches to a runway by general aviation aircraft are examined. The issue is whether or not good dynamic response can be obtained by exploiting the repeatable accuracy of Loran-C position data and combining it with heading rate data. The pilot needs cross pointer displays so he can keep the aircraft within approx. 75 feet of the runway centerline at approach speeds typical of general aviation aircraft.
