LORAN C Stability Integrity Assurance
Abstract
This report describes a program to determine if an operational integrity check is necessary before beginning a Loran C nonprecision approach. Simulation testing and a questionnaire distributed to Loran C receiver manufacturers were used to determine if present state-of-the-art receivers could reliably acquire the Loran C signal. The questionnaire was designed to solicit from manufacturers the probability of reliable acquisition for state-of-the-art receivers and if improvements are possible. Flight tests were also conducted to gather preliminary information related to employing Loran C operational integrity checks prior to initiating a nonprecision approach.
