As a student pilot in the Air Force, I was on my instrument check ride in the T-37, a small twin engine jet with side by side seating. I had a hood on that obstructed my exterior vision. My instructor told me to proceed to a particular airport. I looked up the information, dialed in the frequency and set up my VOR to fly to the destination (just as illustrated in the video). As I overflew the airport (a From indication on the VOR) the instructor told me to remove the hood and look out. I had overflown the wrong airport. What happened? There were two different airports a few miles apart. The VOR frequencies were one click of the dial different. I had mis-dialed the frequency when setting up. What had I failed to do? The rule is “tune and identify”, and you identify by listening to the airport Morse Code identifier. So that’s why the military teaches Morse Code to pilots. An age-old system in modern airplanes. I failed the check ride and passed the re-check. And learned a lesson that it’s the little things that can bite you.

I have struggled getting my head around VOR navigation, I have watched hour after hour of RU-vid videos of people supposedly explaining how easy it is, within 5 minutes of watching your video, it became clear in a way that not one of the other "Pilots" were able to communicate. Thank you for this excellent and UNDERSTANDABLE explanation of VOR navigation, you accomplished in 5 minutes what others could not do in 5 hours!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 лет назад

Really glad to hear it all helps out! Thanks for watching and be sure to share our new site with your friends on Facebook and around the airport! www.fly8ma.com/

@adenmurcutt4740 6 лет назад

Very helpful but enough with the 'go ahead' every second breath please!!!!

@j3koenig 5 лет назад

I second that. This is the most useful explanation of vors I've come across. Thank you for putting this together

@charlesbecker3470 4 года назад

This was the best VOR video I have seen also, there are some out there that claim they have the "easiest" way to learn VOR, all they do is confuse you.

@aviator6547 4 года назад

@midknight_flight2902 4 года назад

Finally, a correct explanation with correct terminology.

My thoughts exactly getting tired of those other self appointed experts not even knowing that it's called a CDI

@natthawatketsupha4846 5 лет назад

Your VOR navigation explanation is excellent and UNDERSTANDABLE, it makes my study a lot easier, Thank you!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 5 лет назад

@truckproam.2218 6 лет назад

It’s crazy to be struggling with something one minute and have it all make prefect sense the next. There’s nothing like the feeling of that “click” in your brain when you finally understand something you’ve struggled with for so long. Thanks bro.

@AL-ui2gh 5 лет назад

You nailed it at explaining To and From functions! I wish I found your vid 3 hours ago. Thank you !

@ryancross4645 5 лет назад

This is by far the best VOR video I have seen on RU-vid. Thank you so much for explaining this concept so well.

@pauldayonghuang9284 4 года назад

This is the best explain of VOR I found so far. Thank you!

@justinmolina4557 5 лет назад

By far this is the best VOR instruction I have found. Finally makes sense to me.

@Stringbean421 5 лет назад

Really great tutorial. Not a real pilot myself but very useful for learning to fly using VOR navigation in flight simulator.

@nicholaspolce4591 2 года назад

Like many others here have commented, I was struggling wrapping my head around VOR navigation. Watching training videos and reading up on the subject helped give me a basic understanding but this short, extremely well done video really helped me get where I need to be. Thanks so much! I’m excited to go back through the other content you have posted and future content coming out!

@argueallday Год назад

By far the best explanation of simple VOR use in the plane. Crystal clear.

@robwhite2282 4 года назад

@deanmiller294 7 лет назад

Josh - thank you for the excellent tutorial. I learned so much in this 20 minutes. I went on my discovery flight last week and this was the most perplexing aspect of my flight. I still have lots to learn but you gave me confidence I can acquire the necessary skills with vor to aide me in my journey. You guys are very much appreciated !!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 лет назад

Congrats on the discovery flight! Good luck with training and check out some of our other playlists to help you through getting your license!

@chrislacey6036 6 лет назад

I stumbled upon your videos the other day as I prep for my check ride. I just wanted to say, your videos are amazingly well explained, and easy to understand. I absolutely did not understand VOR naviation at all prior to this video. Now I understand it no problem. You got a subscribe to me. It's also nice that you use references I am used to since I fly out of Fort Myers. Thanks again!

Thank you! I was confused on the to and from radials but you explained it right and now I understand. Thanks again.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 4 года назад

I'm glad it helped!

@phoonjzc Год назад

From means that the radio waves are hitting you. To means that you are going towards it.

@thegeek3348 5 лет назад

this is great. my instructor told me something like radial is to and bearing is from VOR... this video really helped. i'm going to to use x-plane to practice it, so I'm ready for the check ride and cross countries.

@rafaberr.rodriguez1303 4 года назад

It took me a few replays to get the idea of positive and negative sensing but it was worth it. Thanks for a beautifully explained lesson on VOR nav.

@graemed-g522 5 лет назад

This information is so excellent, thank you, and as has been pointed out, the VOR stations are in the process of being turned off with it sounds like only 39 to remain across America by 2020. GPS is changing how we do things and I think the reliability of the system has proved itself for enough years. No doubt it will completely simplify how people fly, speak the flight plan and the plane will go that way... a lot more people might get into flying if it were easier to navigate.

@xSensu 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this amazing explanation. I watched several videos before I got to this one. I started flying in Flight Sim 2020 and they dont explain the VOR hardly at all, so I had to go searching how to use it. Your video made me understand how to use it in 20 minutes where others spent hours only to confuse me more. I am curious, what program are you using right there, is it available to the public for practice as well?

@toddwoods582 6 лет назад

Did this today....but also had to determine a checkpoint using the intersection of two VOR's. Do you have a video on that?

@oystercatcher943 2 года назад

Really good explanation. I think I’ve got it then fail to get the Cessna autopilot in X-Plane to fly the right way. I think it’s a subtlety of also needing to set the HDG bug as well as using using the CDI to control the AP. Will keep trying.

@dickjohnson4268 4 года назад

VOR = Very Old man's Radio range. Even with the advent and implementation of high zoot glass in the airliners, a lot of us still used the ND single and double needles enroute to keep our RMI and ADF chops up. Old school stuff, but a skill we were glad to have kept up. "Well, I just use PROG page three to let me know where I am." Okay... so where are you? Lost or confused? As for me, both.

@HITHEREFOLKS 6 лет назад

hi,being a beginner, what do you do to land when you hit the station ? does the needle go crazy when you're right on it? will look for your previous lesson on vor maybe to get the basics,thanks for helping us.i just put thumbs up and subscribed.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 лет назад

Check out some of our other VOR videos! Its all explained on there! Good luck and have fun with your training!!

@gordondean2110 6 лет назад

So after you get on your desired radial and with a heading that matches the radial.....how do you stay on that radial in spite of a cross wind? Here is how. It is called the half angle method: As you begin to tract a radial.1)Get on the radial and then establish a heading that matches the radial. Then wait a couple of minutes.....and most likely the OBS needle will move off center. Turn 20 degrees toward the needle and when the needle centers turn to remove 10 degrees of the 20 degree cut that you just made.. Continue to fly and hold that heading. When (IF) the needle again deviates, turn 10 degrees toward the needle and when it centers, remove 1/2 of that correction (which is 5 degrees). Now you are flying the heading that will hold the needle centered within 5 degrees. Use light rudder pressure to maintain +/- 5 degrees. If the needle should deviate again, simply turn towards it 2-3 degrees. This whole process takes about 5 minutes to accomplish and results in s heading that will precisely track a VOR or an ILS. (Note: For an ILS, the first cut towards the needle s/b no more than 10 degrees (not 20 degrees as when flying enroute) So to summarize: 1) Get on your desired radial and fly a heading matching the radial. 2) When the needle deviates, turn towards it, 3)When the needle centers, remove 1/2 of the last correction made.....

@mopar3502001 6 лет назад

That's a great method! Thanks for your reply! I'll have to give that a shot.

@helicoptersrkool 5 лет назад

I'm not a pilot but the moment I started making a concious effort to ALWAYS remember the difference between a Bearing (to) and Radial (from) is when it clicked for me. I think a lot of people (myself included) get/got confused when trying to visualize where they are in relation to the VOR because they always think radials pointing outwards (From) the VOR centre. They don't make the effort to immideitely look at or visualize what the opposite reciprocal (To) bearing is in their head. Even if you're a few degrees off it's still good to know. They spend too much time looking at the heading number above the tip of the radial arrow when away from the VOR station eg: after getting the frequency, they'll start turning turning the OBS spinning back and forth until it centres, depending on which way they turn may first line up with radial (From) showing say 090. (This is the point where they should quickly avert their gaze to the reciprocal heading on the opposite side which would show 270 while still turning the needle (To) VOR bearing. When they see the bearing heading number coming around they will know exactly when to slow down turning the OBS and will know when the needle will centre even before the needle lines up and not waste time adjusting if you were turning it too quickly. I sometimes turn the plane onto the bearing early, line up then go back to the VOR OBS and adjust until the needle is lined up depending if I know I'm close a VOR station. You sometimes have to readjust your heading a few degrees because of this or because of wind.

Scrolled through the comments a bit and couldn’t find any info, what tool is this?? It would be great to practice vor theory with whatever is being used in the video
