What is another word for radio range beacons?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈe͡ɪdɪˌə͡ʊ ɹˈe͡ɪnd͡ʒ bˈiːkənz] (IPA) 
Radio range beacons, also known as navigation aids, are crucial tools for pilots in guiding them through the skies. There are many different types of radio range beacons, each with its specific function: VOR (VHF omnidirectional radio range) provides directional guidance, NDB (non-directional beacon) gives location indications, and DME (distance measuring equipment) determines the distance from the plane to the beacon. In addition to these, there are also TACAN (tactical air navigation) beacons for military aircraft and GPS (global positioning system) for worldwide navigation. With these navigational aids, pilots can fly with confidence, knowing their location within the airspace and avoiding potential hazards.
