    How does an ADF work?
    Based on simple AM-radio ground stations called NDBs (non-directional beacons), an ADF is an aircraft instrument with a directional arrow-shaped pointer. The arrow simply points straight at the programmed NDB’s position in relation to the aircraft. To use an ADF, the pilot begins by selecting the station with which they want to navigate.

    What is an automatic direction finder (ADF)?
    An automatic direction finder (ADF) operates off of a ground signal transmitted from a NDB. Early radio direction finders (RDF) used the same principle. A vertically polarized antenna was used to transmit LF frequency radio waves in the 190 kHz to 535 kHz range. A receiver on the aircraft was tuned to the transmission frequency of the NDB.

    What is ADF based navigation?
    Now a dying technology, ADF-based navigation was once the foundation of the airspace system. VORs eventually replaced it and, more recently, it has been made nearly obsolete by GPS satellite navigation. ADF stands for automatic direction finder.
