VORTAC
A
VORTAC
is a
navigational aid
for
aircraft pilots
consisting of a co-located
VHF omnidirectional range
(VOR) beacon and a
tactical air navigation system
(TACAN) beacon. Both types of beacons provide pilots
azimuth
information, but the VOR system is generally used by civil aircraft and the TACAN system by military aircraft. However, the TACAN
distance measuring equipment
is also used for civil purposes because it is built to civil specifications. Most VOR installations in the
United States
are VORTACs.
