For historical information only, do not use for navigation or aviation purposes!

The following list contains the aeronautical radio beacons that were active in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1958/59. All information is outdated and may not be used for navigational purposes.

At that time, civil route navigation was still mainly based on Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs) and some Ranges. However, various VORs have already been put into operation, some of which are still in test operation, such as Dortmund VOR. The ident of the enroute radio beacons still starts with a "D", e.g. Augsburg DIJ, Bartelsdorf DHO. This principle is given up in the following years, the beacons receive then identifications, which are based on the place names.

Each airport has a runway equipped with an instrument landing system.

In the military aviation, the Luftwaffe air bases and the airfields of the French and Canadians have Non-Directional Beacons (NDB). The US Air Force also uses NDBs, but in Hahn and Spangdahlem temporary VORs have been installed and in Giebelstadt, Hahn and Spangdahlem the first TACAN systems have been put to service. At bases of the Royal Air Force (RAF), in addition to NDBs, the typical RAF systems Eureka and BABS are also available.

Special features:

  • Independent Eureka radio beacon in Brekendorf, probably operated by the RAF. Possibly a replacement for Schleswig after this site was handed over to the German Navy.
  • Racon in Erding. Although the airfield has already been handed over to the German Air Force, the Racon could still be operated by the US Air Force.

Enlargement: Berlin - In addition to the airfields of the Western Allies at Gatow, Tegel and Tempelhof, also the fields at Dallgow and Schönefeld in the Soviet occupation zone (GDR) are marked. The location of the Schoenefeld radio beacons is probably incorrect. The dotted circle marks Berlin control zone, in which Western Allied aircraft can move freely up to an altitude of 10,000 feet. The shaded areas on the left are the three air corridors to Berlin. (Source: US DoD)
