Basic VOR Tutorial

[MrStinkyfeets]

very useful... mate u did a great job!!

[mynewsong]

THIS IS GREAT I HAVE LEARNED A LOT. THANKS MUCH

[telosfd]

I making a departure from LGKR RNW 35. So my KRK VOR is In 150 deg. south in freq 114.70. After take off right turn to 150 course,but i can found eazyly the needl of VOR. What exactly should I do after takeoff. Thanks a lot.

FINALLY A VIDEO I UNDERSTAND! YOU'RE AWESOME BRO!

:)

In reality, a large percentage of commercial aviation flights still use VOR airways for navigation. While som eof the terminology could be more precise, I thought this was a decent primer on VOR. As far as light aircraft goes, almost everyone is using GPS for navigation, but not everyone has an IFR certified unit. Those that don't can still get substantial use out of their GPS, but still must legally rely on VORs and low-altitude airways for flight planning. RSBest, CFII

Fuck VOR. Just use the goddamn GPS. If the GPS system fails then use a backup GPS. Always have two GPS units. There's too much shit to know and learn. What ever happened to just flying the fuckin' plane. Too much time is spent with bullshit. Anyone that has a problem with my comment, then kiss my rudder.

I really don't understand why people have to curse all the time , if you don't agree totally it would be most appropriate not to respond , if you have a better way of doing things. I don't see you teaching anything.

[ChristopherBix2]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this. It's very helpful.

very well put dude

[hakimihomayoon]

thank you for nice and simple explanation buddy.

[rumpastumpa]

this kid's got a touch of the downs

[FSXIV]

Very nicely said. Thanks!

[Wings40Like31Eagles]

Great video, you did a great job explaining VOR! However, (referring to your glidelope indicator lesson) you would never push the nose down to force the pin up. Always remember: Pitch controls airspeed; Power controls altitude. Just a little friendly reminder! Keep it up and blue skies.

[frank2398]

The lines "in between them" are not called "vectors". These "highways in the sky" are called "Victor Airways". (i.e. The Ohare VOR [freq 113.9] to Polo VOR [freq 112.2] would be VICTOR 172). VOR is NOT obsolete, it is just supplemented by GPS. Even the most modern "Glass cockpit" allows for VOR intercept upon GPS failure or signal loss. (see the Garmin G1000 GA user manual)

[FSXIV]

@frank2398 Yes, very well said, thank you for your input.

[FSXIV]

Yeah, I do. But I never use it. I use AIM almost everyday however, so if you want, my AIM Sn is: Core2King

[Gamerrockz]

hey can i have u msn?

[dkatwa]

Great tutorial. Maybe it could have done with some arrows to show what you are referring to when you are highlighting something on the dials, but that is being hyper- critical.

[usafcabledawg]

Not bad, but what your referring to isn't a "vector" it's a victor airway. A vector typically is an assigned heading by atc. Also, VOR's are still very heavily used in commercial aviation.

Overall, not too bad though.

[Keithskool]

Well explained...but what i dont get is when you are following co-ordinates to the next VOR station (ie follow 220degrees) why make a right turn to 250 degrees.?

[FSXIV]

@Keithskool A right turn? Yes-this is only if you are changing direction to the heading of 250 after you pass over the VOR that you are currently on course for. Otherwise you just stay on the 220 radial till you reach your VOR station, then change your course to 250 degrees.

[bruin6082]

All this and not a word on how to tune in the proper frequency in your navigational radio?!

[FSXIV]

Ahh...But that should be seccond nature for any pilot. You can change the station on your Car's radio right? Seems simple enough. xD

[bruin6082]

To any pilot, Yes! But you're not preparing a tutorial for real pilots. You're preparing it for people who are using FSX. Right?!

And NO! If you've never sat in a car you probably wouldn't know how to change the radio station either!

[akhlaqrajput]

Great lesson,you mention your other video,May i ask how to find your other video.

[ThisSpitefulSnake]

Thanks a lot! It's stuff like this that makes wannabe pilots like me appreciate sims so much.

[polarbear60]

You sound very smart.

[FSXIV]

Thanks Dude...xD

[DetectiveJones]

great tut man. Congrats !
