What does TZZ mean in AIRPORT CODES

Travis VOR (VHF Omni-Range navigational station) is a ground-based navigational facility located in Fairfield, California. It provides pilots with guidance information for air navigation and assists them in safely navigating the airspace around United States.

Travis VOR transmits continuous radio signals at specific frequencies that are picked up by aircraft transponders in the vicinity. These signals can be used to calculate the bearing of an aircraft from the facility and provide direction and distance information about the aircraft's location.

Any type of aircraft equipped with a compatible transponder can make use of Travis VOR for navigation purposes. This includes commercial, private, military, and experimental aircrafts.

Travis VOR is located in Fairfield, California USA.

The maximum range for reception depends on atmospheric conditions and terrain height but typically ranges between 100-200 miles from the transmitter site. Thus, pilots must remain within this range to receive signal from the facility accurately.

Yes, apart from providing guidance for navigation purposes, it also helps pilots identify their position or measure distance to other airports or navaids in its coverage area. This additional information could be useful when making flight plans or avoiding restricted areas.

Yes, navigational aids like a vortac have a unique identifier known as an identification code which can be used to identify them from other facilities using their location coordinates or other identifying features like a Morse code marker beacon.
