For every aid, ask the same four questions: which band, what range, what accuracy, which errors. Exam questions rarely step outside that frame.
Written on the EASA Learning Objectives, checked against the primary texts, delivered as an A4 PDF and a screen edition, in English and in French.
What is inside
Frequency bands, polarisation, antennas, and the three propagation paths that explain the range of every aid.
NDB and ADF, VOR and Doppler VOR, DME, ILS. Principle, accuracy and the errors specific to each.
Pulse techniques, ground radars, airborne weather radar, secondary surveillance radar and the transponder.
Area navigation, performance-based navigation, the flight management system and its sensors.
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, the ranging principle, error sources and the ABAS, SBAS and GBAS augmentation systems.
Every frequency and range on one page, the classic traps, key terms, corrections and sources.
