Tag:airmark=beacon

airmark=beacon
Description
Base tag for beacons used in aerial radio navigation 
Group: Aeroways
Used on these elements
Useful combination
Status: de facto

Radio navigation beacons support the different radio aeronautical navigational systems that help pilots guide their aircraft during flight. These facilities are particularly useful during bad weather (like fog, or low cloud), and for flights operating under IFR.

Those include:

  • NDB Non-Directional Beacon
  • ILS Instrument landing system
  • VOR VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range
  • DVOR Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range
  • DME Distance Measuring Equipment
  • TACAN Tactical Air Navigation
  • RSBN Radiotechnic System for Inner Navigation (ru: Радиотехническая Система Ближней Навигации)

For visual navigation systems use aeroway=navigationaid.

How to map

Place a node at the location of the beacon, and tag with airmark=beacon.
