    • Final approach guidance using an altimeter-aided Loran-C display system 

      Dogan, Norry ([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)
      Introduction: The goal of this thesis is to test the flyability of a display system that uses a King Radio KEAO-346 altimeter and Micrologic ML-3000 LORAN-C receiver for final approach guidance and to model the dynamics ...

    • Flight test and evaluation of Omega navigation for general aviation 

      Hwoschinsky, Peter V. ([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology [Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1975], 1975)
      A seventy hour flight test program was accomplished to determine the suitability and accuracy of a low cost Omega navigation receiver in a general aviation aircraft. An analysis was made of signal availability in two widely ...

    • General aviation Omega navigation in the national airspace system 

      Wischmeyer, Carl Edward (Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976, 1976)
      Introduction: Omega navigation has great potential as a navigation sensor for general aviation aircraft. Advantages of Omega navigation include signal availability at all altitudes, and no need for overflying of various ...

    • A study of signal to noise ratio, lane counting, and position accuracy using the Omega navigation system 

      Francisco, Glen Leif (Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1976], 1976)
      A forty-hour flight program was completed to study signal to noise ratio, lane counting and position accuracy using a low cost Omega navigation system in a general aviation aircraft. Specific test objectives were developed ...

    • Use of Loran-C for general aviation aircraft navigation 

      Natarajan, Krishnan (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1981], 1981)
      This report describes an extensive evaluation of Loran-C for use by general aviation. Flight, ground, and antenna tests were done. Flight tests measured the accuracy and the ability to make approaches. Receiver reliability ...
