What Does VORTAC Stand For?
VORTAC stands for Very High Frequency Omnirange TACAN Tactical Air Navigation System
VORTAC, which stands for Very High Frequency Omnirange TACAN Tactical Air Navigation System, is a ground-based radio navigation aid that provides aircraft with both VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) signals. It enables pilots to determine their position and track their course with high precision, enhancing navigation and situational awareness during flight operations. VORTAC systems are essential for air traffic control and are widely used in military and civilian aviation to facilitate safe and efficient air navigation.
