learning frm a 10 mins video is much better than reading a book for 2 hours

great

Thanks for the video. This is a great start for those who are knew to VOR navigation.

@DirectTech That's probably the most ignorant response on this board. Proper knowledge of VOR/ADF Navigation is critical when your little GPS fails all of the sudden (and it DOES from my experience). GPS should always be used as secondary NAV, keep your VOR skills sharp.

Garmin 496.... In a stressed situation, VOR nav can get you killed. Too complicated...

@GeneralSirDouglasMcA

That's correct. If you turn the OBS knob until you get a center needle, AND a "TO" reading, and the heading you read says 350, then 350 is the direction that you want to be flying to get to that VOR.

So ya, the VOR is already adjusted for variance, but variance changes over time, and the VOR won't. So over time, the VOR will eventually be off by a few degrees until they fix it...minor details..... Also...Don't you hate it when people paying to take your course are arguing with you about things you are teaching them?! (To, From...)

turn the OBS until CDI centers. read the TO/ From indicator. if the up arrow is orange you are going to the station if the bottom arrow is orange you are from the station. turn the plane towrds the heading on the indicator if TO heading is 040 and your plane's heading indicator reads 130 turn left until it reads 040 and you will intersect the VOR as long as you keep the CDI CENTERED. its easier if you draw lines on paper and draw a small plane.

nice lesson, thx

@joepatroni77 You need VOR smartass vor navigation airlines using them to gps is like secondary

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

If you twist the VOR knob until the needle centers up, and you get a 'TO' heading of 350 degrees for example, does that mean you would want to fly 350 degrees to go straight to the airport?

with all those videos I could cover alot of my ground school material
