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.

Radar and the courage of the RAF pilots.
Airplanes with the aid of radar or simply by the pilot looking outside can navigate around the weather by going around it left, right, above it, below it. In some cases even returning to point of origin. Weather is something pilots monitor constantly.
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.
Beneath the pilots feet are the control systems. In the nose is the radar
The captain and his officers, GPS, radar, charts, buoys, and sonar are all used.
