S9-1. The absolute accuracy of Loran-C is between ___
0.1
0.25 nautical miles.
and ____

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
the corrections for signal propagation are more
because _________________________________________
complex and variable for near shore areas than for
outlying areas. Consequently, the possible errors may
be larger.
