Abstract:During the winter of 1958-59 a large number of measurements were made, by means of a long-range radar, of the accuracy of air navigation along certain VCR airways within 130 miles of Kansas City. The measurements encompassed a variety of aircraft types and flight conditions, and were made generally without the pilot’s knowledge. The type, Identity, assigned altitude, origin destination, and reported times over certain VOR station were obtained for each aircraft from air traffic control records. Related weather and winds aloft data were obtained from the weather teletype. The positions of the VOR radials defining the airways in the area were also measured, by means of a specially instrumented aircraft.
