VORTAC, which stands for Variable Omni Range Tactical VOR And TACAN, is a navigational aid used in aviation. It combines the functions of a VOR (VHF Omni-directional Range) and a TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) system, providing accurate, reliable position information to both civilian and military aircraft. The VORTAC allows pilots to determine their bearings and distances from the station, enhancing situational awareness and supporting various flight operations. Designed for integration with advanced avionics, VORTAC stations are instrumental in air traffic management and efficient flight navigation.
