The limitations in providing both centerline and altitude guidance for runways in good Loran-C signal coverage were determined. The high data rate (10/sec) and good repeatable accuracy of Loran-C indicate that it will be possible to provide the pilot with continuous, cross pointer display of guidance information similar to that provided by ILS/MLS, at least when good signal-to-noise ratios and good geometry from Loran-C Lines of Position (LOP) exist at the airport.
