Navigation Study Guide S9-1. The absolute accuracy of Loran-C is between ___ and ____ nautical miles. 0.1 0.25 S9-2. The components of the Loran-C system include ___________________________ and _______________ an onboard navigation receiver a chain of three to five land-based transmitting stations.
Navigation Study Guide S9-3. Using Loran-C, position is determined as the intersection of _______________________________ two or more lines of position based on the TDs. S9-4. Loran-C LOPs are not printed on most harbor charts because _________________________________________ the corrections for signal propagation are more complex and variable for near shore areas than for outlying areas. Consequently, the possible errors may be larger.
Navigation Study Guide S9-6. The principle of operation of GP5 is based on satellite ________. ranging S9-8. The stated accuracy of the GPS under S/A (95% of the time) is _____________________. 100 meters horizontally
Navigation Study Guide S9-9. A system of improved accuracy based upon additional corrections to GP5 is termed _______________. The horizontal accuracy of this system is approximately _________. Differential GPS 10 meters S9-10. To ensure best accuracy for GPS receivers it is important to set the _______________ to the same as that used on the nautical chart. horizontal datum
