C-130J pilots cockpit view and ATC audio during practice flying NDB (Non-Directional Beacon) approaches at TSTC Waco (KCNW). NDB approaches at not something we commonly fly but can be found at some of our more remote destinations.
Aircraft: USAF C-130J Hercules
Field: TSTC Waco (KCNW)
A non-directional (radio) beacon (NDB) is a radio transmitter at a known location, used as an aviation or marine navigational aid. As the name implies, the signal transmitted does not include inherent directional information, in contrast to other navigational aids such as low frequency radio range, VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and TACAN. Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) equipment determines the direction or bearing to the NDB station relative to the aircraft by using a combination of directional and non-directional antennae to sense the direction in which the combined signal is strongest.
