Loran C VNAV (Vertical Navigation) Approaches to the Technical Center Heliport.

Abstract

This report documents the results of Loran C vertical navigation (VNAV) approaches to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center Heliport. Results of this study show that the three dimensional (3D) Loran C Navigator met the requirements of Advisory Circular (AC) 90-45A for two dimensional (2D) error components of total system crosstrack (TSCT) and flight technical error (FTE). In addition, the 3D error component of vertical flight technical error (VFTE) met the requirements of AC 90-45A.
