One online source for the location of the present day airnav
beacons and route maps is the Microsoft Flight Simulator community [fltsim]
websites. This civil flight simulator uses scenery and navigation from real
world data, eg the fltsim version of RW16R at Sydney's Mascot airport closely
matches the real world version in all details. This includes the radio
navigation aids such as the ILS and VOR / DME, all of which are correctly
positioned as they are at the real airport.
As such, the fltsim scenery text files list the radio aids
available as well as details such as their range, frequencies and lat / long
locations.
Australian navigation charts are obtainable from
Airservices Australia. These include airport approach and departure
procedures as well as airfield data.
The serious online researcher might find it
useful to link into the "aus.aviation" newsgroup. The archives are available at
Google Groups
Excellent online tutorials are available at
Flight Simulator Navigation Included are such topics as; D/F, VOR
and NDB.
