Best Answer

pilots navigated using magnetic compasses, airspeed instruments, and direction-finding gyros. Radio beacons that enabled pilots to plot their position relative to intercepted radio signals came into use in the late 1920s.

What is Radar Information Service?

Radar Information Service (RIS) is a non-control service provided by air traffic controllers to alert pilots of aircraft that are in close proximity and potential conflict. This service enhances awareness and helps prevent collisions by providing additional surveillance information gathered from radar sources. RIS is not a replacement for vigilance and adherence to regulations by pilots.
