Contexto
Airport identification is assumed by the pilot when a runway environment is sighted at the appropriate computed flight time from the final approach fix. Where two airports are in close proximity, it is quite possible for pilots to land at the wrong airport when using non-precision instrument approach aids if the runways are oriented in approximately the same direction. Under these conditions, an identification beacon could prove to be a most useful visual aid.
