# Radio Navigation

_TODO_
In radio navigation, we're learning [what radio waves are] and how they are being used to guide pilots in the air.

For over 100 years now, we are using radio navigation aids in aviation to find our way through the sky. Before that,
the only means to navigate were following visual landmarks, using [dead reckoning] or celestial navigation. Whilst
most aircraft still found their way from A to B this way, these kinds of navigation are not as precise as well as
dependant on the weather conditions. The need for navigation systems that are not subject to these disadvantages
soon became necessary.

What first started with simple radio beacons, which were used to home back to the airfield (predecessors of the
[NDB], which is still in use today), soon brought up more complex systems like the [VOR], [DME] and [ILS] that
help us fly precisely both high up in the sky as well as close to the ground every single day.
