6.2.4 Automatic direction finder (ADF)
ADF receivers provide the relative bearing of a basic ground-based Non-Directional
Beacon (NDB) to the fore/aft axis of the aircraft. The beacon signal is generated by a
directional antenna assembly in the aircraft.
The ADF determines the direction to the NDB station relative to the aircraft and is used
for instrument approaches (autopilot). It provides additional information to other naviga-
tion equipment, e.g. VOR.
