Radio navigation beacons support the different radio aeronautical navigational systems that help pilots guide their aircraft during flight. These facilities are particularly useful during bad weather (like fog, or low cloud), and for flights operating under 
IFR.
Those include:
- NDB Non-Directional Beacon
- VOR VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range
- DVOR Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range
- ILS Instrument landing system
- TACAN Tactical Air Navigation
- DME Distance Measuring Equipment
For visual navigation systems use aeroway=navigationaid.
How to Map
Place a node 
at the location of the beacon, and tag with airmark=beacon.
Tagging
- airmark=beacon
- beacon:type=* - see Examples section below
- beacon:code=*
- beacon:frequency=*
- beacon:channel=*
- operator=*
- ele=*

Past usage
There was no clear standard of tagging various navigation aid systems in the past. Therefore our data consumers should expect to find these systems marked with any of these tags:
Also the type of the system was often referenced by key type=*.
