A non-directional beacon is the most basic type of radio beacon. The equipment on board of our aircraft will have to figure out where it is. Any (music) radio station is also a NDB. The typical frequencies of a NDB can be found on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_wave AM Medium band] (530 kHz to 1700 kHz) but during flight planning we shall discover NDB's outside this range. | A non-directional beacon is the most basic type of radio beacon.
