Looking for a VOR tutorial

Postby Dave_Prentice » Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:24 am

Hello,

Does anyone have a good reference for the use of the VOR1 and 2 instruments/ radio stack in the basic cessna ?

I can't seem to get the needles to move even when I can hear the morse code beeps.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hi there,

well this is not really a VOR Tutorial. But a very good webbased VOR Simulator.

This helped me a lot to understand how a VOR (and other instruments) work.

P.S. Obtain the VOR and NDB frequencies from the GPS Map (or whatever).....and remember, the station has to be within range before you can pick up the signal.... ;)...!

Many thanks folks. I've got it. Problem I had was that I was tuning into an MDE beacon (which I assume does not give out direction, only distance ??).

Not much about this in the Learning Centre.

Many thanks again !

"Not much about this in the Learning Centre."
Roger that . . . the FS Learning Center instructs one in what to do -- not in what NOT to do.
Thanks for reporting you were able to accomplish the latter without any assistance.
For further reading, make a profound study of the VOR Tracking article I wrote that was picked up by NASA.
