What does Radio Navigation cover?
Radio Navigation covers the radio and satellite systems used to navigate and to fly approaches: ground-based aids such as NDB, VOR, DME and ILS, area navigation and GNSS, and airborne and ground radar. Understanding each aid's principle, errors and coverage is the core skill.
What this subject covers
- Radio propagation fundamentals
- NDB and the ADF
- VOR and DME
- Instrument Landing System (ILS) and MLS
- Area navigation (RNAV) and GNSS
- Ground and airborne radar
Study tip
Each aid has characteristic errors and a coverage pattern — learn them per-aid so comparison questions become straightforward.

Frequently asked questions
What does Radio Navigation cover?
It covers radio and satellite navigation aids — NDB, VOR, DME, ILS, RNAV and GNSS — plus radar, including the principle, errors and limitations of each.
How is it different from General Navigation?
General Navigation is navigation without radio aids (charts, dead reckoning); Radio Navigation is navigation using radio and satellite systems. Both are examined separately.
Does it follow EASA subject 062?
Yes — questions are organised by the ECQB 062 learning objectives, aid by aid.
