Originally developed for marine service, some important difficulties have been experienced in its use for aircraft. Results are given by a series of curves showing true and measured flight positions. The errors noted from the tests are explained with the aid of correction tables and illustrated by curves. Possible remedial actions are considered to correct for propagational anomalies. The test results given cover a period of six months but it is concluded that a much longer period of testing is needed in order to accumulate sufficient measurements data to determine the seasonal effects on propagation.
