Loran C TSO Data Base

Abstract

This report lists a data base for bench simulation testing aviation Loran C receivers for en route and terminal position accuracy. A set of data points was selected from Loran C stability flight tests conducted over the continental U.S. in 1984-1985 at 400 locations, 100 points in each of four Loran C chains. It may someday be used as a substitute for some of the flight testing required in an Advisory Circular or Technical Standard Order to obtain a Supplemental Type Certificate for Loran C equipment for en route and terminal aircraft operations. The report also discusses the procedures used to collect and select the data base. Keywords: Test equipment, Test methods, Radio navigation.
