ADF Operations
Aim
• To learn the principles and considerations
behind the operation of the ADF
navigation system.
Application
• Supplementary navigation information
• Orientation information (where am I?)
• NVFR rating
• IFR rating
Overview
• Definitions
• Principles
• Considerations
• Air Exercise
• Airmanship
Definitions
• NDB
– Non-Directional Beacon, is the ground radio
transmitter that radiates energy in all directions.
• ADF
– Automatic Direction Finder, is the airborne
receiver which when tuned, indicates the
direction TO the NDB.
• Locator
– Low powered NDB used for approaches in
conjunction with an ILS.
Principles
• NDB Ground Stations
Principles
• NDB
– Operates on frequencies between 200Hz and 500
KHz (LF to MF radio range).
– Primarily short distance navigation aids of usually <
200Nm.
– Transmitter power is between 100 and 3000W with
majority in the 100 to 500W range.
– Greater the transmitter power, the greater the
range.
– Details found in ERSA and ERC charts; VTC, TAC
and VNC.

FAC P – 292 Not for operational use
Principles
– The emitted wave has a Morse code identifier
superimposed upon it, of 2 to 3 letters.
– The carrier wave may also contain voice/
ATIS information.

Principles
• ADF
– Airborne equipment consists of three
main components:
1. Antennae
2. Receiver
3. Cockpit display
Principles
• ADF
– Airborne equipment consists of three main
components:
1. Antennae
• loop antenna aligns itself perpendicular to the
direction of the received signal. As it is a loop,
two nulls are received - one removed 180 from
the other.
• To resolve the ambiguity the signal from the
sense antenna is combined, to drive the loop
(and hence the pointer) in the correct direction.
Principles
2. Receiver
– The receiver and associated control panel
are used to tune the ADF to the required
NDB.
Principles
General ADF modes:
• OFF = Switch ADF off
• ADF = Normal position for bearing information
• ANT = Only sense antenna is used. No bearing
information but enhanced audio reception
• BFO = Beat frequency oscillator, rarely used in
Australia
• TEST = deflects needle to right wing. Pressing
ADF again points needle to NDB
Principles
3. Cockpit Display
– The needle always points directly TO the
station
038º M
Principles
038º M
HDG + RB = TO Station
038 + 226 = 264
Principles
• Fixed Card ADF
– The needle indicates relative bearing of the
station from the aircraft
Principles
• Rotatable-Card ADF
– The needle indicates a magnetic bearing TO
the station. Any change in HDG requires realignment
of the ADF card.
Principles
• Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)
– Is a gyro-stabilised ADF which automatically
aligns the card, and indicates magnetic
bearings.
Considerations
• The ADF/NDB system has various limitations
and errors that must be considered. These are:
N – Night
C – Coastal
T – Terrain
T – Thunderstorm
T – Tuning / Co-channel
H – Height
M – Mountain
Q – Quadrantal
Considerations
• Night effect
– Radio waves take two paths; ground waves
(along the Earth’s surface) and sky waves.
– During the day the sky waves are absorbed
by the lower ionosphere. At night the
ionosphere reflects the sky wave back, mixing
with the ground wave, causing errors.
Considerations

FAC D – 114 Not for operational use
Considerations
• Coastal refraction
– When passing from land to sea at an oblique
angle, NDB radio waves may be refracted
(bent) due to different conducting and
reflecting properties of land and water. Always
refracts towards the land (away from the
normal).
Considerations
• Terrain effect
– Radio signals have greater range over water
than over sandy or mountainous country
where the range is considerably reduced.
Considerations
• Terrain Effect
Extract from ERSA (Darwin INTL)
FAC D – 114 Not for operational use
Considerations
• Thunderstorm
– Thunderstorms generate a lot of radio energy,
and the ADF needle may point towards it; a
poor mans weather radar.
Considerations
• Incorrect tuning
– The receiver must be correctly tuned.
Incorrect tuning will cause false bearing
indications, restricted range, reversed sensing
indication and possible co-channel
interference from adjoining frequencies.
Considerations
• Co-channel interference
– signals received from other NDBs operating
on the same frequency, may give false
bearing information. (eg: SHT and BNS)
Generally NDBs of similar frequencies are
spaced well apart geographically.

Considerations • Height
– The range of an NDB over the sea is relatively
independent of aircraft height.
– However, over land, and particularly over
unfavourable terrain, range can be improved
considerably as the aircraft climbs higher.

FAC D – 114 Not for operational use
Considerations
• Mountain effect
– fluctuating bearings may result from the mixing of
radio waves reflected from the surfaces of mountains.
– higher frequencies minimise this effect.

FAC W – 400 Not for operational use
Considerations
• Quadrantal
– Results from the metal construction of the
aircraft.
– The Needle of the ADF will align itself to the
cardinal points of aircraft. (ie: N, E, S, W)
when station in between these quadrants.

- Tune to NDB using receiver
- Identify using Morse code
- Test by depressing TEST switch
Airmanship
• Always use NDB within it’s rated coverage
• TIT checks before use
• AM stations not to be used for navigation
• Instrument taxi checks to be completed
• Always refer to the ERSA for specific aid
