Radio navigation in France in the 1950s

Les radiophares aéronautiques en France dans les années 1950: NDB, Range, ILS

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

The following list contains the aeronautical radio beacons that were active in France in the mid of the 1950s. All information is outdated and may not be used for navigational purposes.

At that time, mainly Non-directional Radio Beacons (NDB) were used. In addition, there were still some Ranges, but the number declined. Instead, the first VORs were in use. The country's major airports were equipped with an instrument landing system (ILS).

Remarkably, there was still a Eureka beacon in Istres. This seems to have been the last of the few Eurekas in France.
