AeroRadioNavInstallation_P | Feature Type | A ground based piece of electronic equipment that provides aeronautical navigation guidance information or position data. | - |
DistanceMeasuringEquipment_P | Feature Type | Ultra High Frequency (UHF) ground equipment that is used in conjunction with airborne equipment to determine distance between the airborne and ground equipment. | DME Distance is defined as the line of sight distance (slant range) from the source of a DME signal to the receiving antenna. DME operates on the interrogation-answer principle where the time required for the round trip of the signal exchange is measured in the airborne DME unit and translated into DME Distance. |
DistanceMeasuringEquipment_S | Feature Type | Ultra High Frequency (UHF) ground equipment that is used in conjunction with airborne equipment to determine distance between the airborne and ground equipment. | DME Distance is defined as the line of sight distance (slant range) from the source of a DME signal to the receiving antenna. DME operates on the interrogation-answer principle where the time required for the round trip of the signal exchange is measured in the airborne DME unit and translated into DME Distance. |
NonDirectionalRadioBeacon_P | Feature Type | A low or medium radio navigation service transmitting signals whereby the pilot of a suitably equipped aircraft can determine bearings, 'home in' on, and/or track to or from the station. | The radio frequencies assigned to an NDB shall be selected from those available in that portion of the spectrum between 190 and 1750 kilohertz (kHz). |
TacticalAirNavAidBeacon_P | Feature Type | A military Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio navigation service able to provide continuous bearing and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) distance to a selected station. | A navigation system developed by military and naval forces providing, as far as the navigating pilot is concerned and for suitably equipped aircraft, the same indication as a VOR/DME system. DME Distance is defined as the line of sight distance (slant range) from the source of a DME signal to the receiving antenna. |
VhfOmniRadioBeacon_P | Feature Type | A Very High Frequency (VHF) radio navigation service which uses phase comparisons of a ground transmitted signal to determine bearing. | This term is derived from the expression 'very high frequency omnidirectional radio range'. |
