Forging new generations of engineers
Airborne V.O.R. Equipment
• External Antennae that are “V” shaped, typically on the rudder
• Cockpit Instruments, one for each navigational tuner in the radio stack
Nav1
Nav2
V.O.R. Instrument Components
V.O.R. Instrument Components
Heading Entered into OBS
Setting the V.O.R. OBS identifies the radial the instrument is referencing
If a signal is being received, the sky is immediately divided into two major sections.
This division classifies half of the sky as “TO” the station, and half of the sky as “FROM” the station.
Regardless of the aircrafts current attitude, altitude (assuming it is sufficient), or heading… all aircraft in the same half of the sky will share the same indication.
Heading Entered into OBS
Setting the V.O.R. OBS identifies the radial the instrument is referencing
If a signal is being received, the sky is immediately divided into two major sections.
This division classifies half of the sky as “LEFT” of the station, and half of the sky as “RIGHT” of the station.
Regardless of the aircrafts current attitude, altitude (assuming it is sufficient), or heading… all aircraft in the same half of the sky will share the same indication.
