The signals are measured, and the phases difference determine radial or line position from the VOR station. One signal is a rotating signal, and the other signal emits simultaneously omnidirectional which means all directions. There are two signals emitted from the VOR station. The pilot can view the aircraft position relative to the beacons from the ground station. The VOR system consists of a VOR station, an instrument that displays and interprets data and an aircraft antenna. VOR enables aircraft to determine its location or position and allows the aircraft to stay on the current course of the signals being transmitted by fixed radio beacons on the ground. VOR is a short-range navigation system used by aircraft. The NBD frequency is entered into the ADF instrument, which gives the pilot directions toward the station. The ADF deciphers the signal and tells the pilot the location of the beacons and his or her location relative to the beacons. The Non-Direction Beacon signal is omnidirectional, and it is received by Automatic Directional Finder (ADF), which is a standard instrument on aircraft. It is used as an instrumental approach for offshore platforms and airports. Non-Directional Beacon is ground-based low-frequency radio beacon transmitter. The technique included identifying landmarks that include rivers, cities, mountains, towers and lakes and compare them to printed charts. The technique is one of the first navigating technique taught to pilots. Pilotage is a technique that uses fixed points as a reference or guide. The bonfires, pilotage, dead reckoning, VOR and GPS are ways in which pilot navigated throughout the years. Mail carriers in early 1900 navigated using bonfires. In the first years of piloting, pilots navigated by visual landmarks or by astronomical navigation. The information is inputted into the Black Box, which contains reference system data and radio navigation signals to guide the plane to the desired destination utilizing airways. The airplane GPS uses signals to analyze the wind and weather and the distance to destination. In airplanes, there are road maps of airways. The driver can follow those coordinates to their destination. The GPS uses signals to determine traffic flow, speed and distance to destination. In the car, GPS has a road map of streets and highways.
