Definition

In a navigation system, the measu­re of the accuracy with which the system permits the user to return to a position as defined only in terms of the coordinates peculiar to that system. For exam­ple, the distance specified for the repeatable accura­cy of the system such as LORAN‑C is the distance bet­ween two LORAN‑C positions established using the same stations and time‑difference readings at diffe­rent times. The correlation between the geographical coordi­nates and the system coordinates may or may not be known.
