This book was released on 2008-07-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers those subjects traditionally referred to as 'Radio Aids'. It includes not only those systems, ground and airborne equipment, comprising the JAR Radio Navigation paper, but also the basic principles of radio wave propagation and communications required in the Aircraft General paper. The volume also covers those warning systems which use radio principles. It continues to cover basic principles, as well as communications and navigation equipment. Emphasis on obsolete systems has been reduced to allow increased coverage of modern equipment. Coverage has been expanded on displays and satellite communications and navigation systems, as well as warning systems for terrain and collision avoidance and altitude monitoring.· Radio Wave Propagation· Communication· Ground Direction Finding· Automatic Direction Finding and Nondirectional Beacons· VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range and Doppler· Radio Magnetic Indicator· Instrument and Microwave Landing Systems· Basic Radar· Distance Measuring Equipment· Secondary Surveillance Radar· Ground Radars· Airborne Weather Radar· Radio Altimeters· Ground Proximity Warning System· Doppler· Hyperbolic Navigation Systems· Traffic Collision Avoidance System
