This bachelor’s thesis examines the history and use of aviation beacons for air navigation. The introductory section describes the basic principles of air navigation, which provide the context for the use of light-based navigation aids. The following section focuses on the development of aviation beacons worldwide and their significance for the advancement of night flying. The main focus is on the introduction of aviation beacons in Czechoslovakia, their design, placement, and both planned and actually operated beacon routes. The thesis also includes a proposal for a navigation flight along the route originally marked by these beacons. The concluding section of the thesis evaluates the current condition of the preserved beacons and their continued significance.
