- Hi. In this video we look at one of the aircraft's navaid that is in use since 1960's: the VOR. We look at what is a VOR; how does a VOR Transmit signals; the indications given in the cockpit; how to identify VORs; and the uses of VOR.
VOR is a short range NAVAID which is still used in different places. Please do watch!
Got Feedback or suggestions: send me an email: domxavfer@gmail.com.
Enjoy!

i like this video. it was simple and easy for me to understand. I was struggling to grasp the concept of VOR
the best explain about vor thanks a lot
You're very welcome!
Hats off to your presentation and involvement in creating fantabulous easy grasp video 🙌🏻🙌🏻Excited for first time in cockpit
Thanks a ton and All the Best!!
except a lot of the info was wrong...
This is one of the elite aviation channels on youtube for making stuff way easier to understand and making them plain and simple. I have counted on it for my PPL and now during my ATPL. just amazing. Thanks JxJ!.
Wow, thanks! This made my day! :) Please do share with others!
Sir kindly make a video on FADEC SYSTEM AND IDG.... I AM YOUR GREAT FAN.. THANKS FOR THIS ALL LOVING VIDEOS..
Thank you for joining my Channel. Will note these topics and make a video on it soon!! Cheers!
@@JxJAVIATION thank you
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you for this amazing video. You have a new subscription.
Welcome! Do check out my other videos as well!
Very educational
Thank you! Check out my other video as well!
Reference is AM and variable is FM in DVOR.
Cool. Thank you for the info!
Kindly make more videos on Radio Navigation your videos make most complicated topics quite easy
Okay sure!
Dme gives slant range and it's paired with vor.As it's slant range so we can find out the aircraft from the station or to the station.
Yes. Thank you!
Thank you

Close but...
Omni means omni. It does not mean that the VOR transmitting station is transmitting discrete beams radiating from the station.
As you described, a vor-equipped aircraft's receiver can calculate what radial it's on (or trying to find) and can calculate to/from info; it does so by receiving signals that are broadcast in all directions from the VOR transmitting station.
Here's the best vid I've found on how this works: czcams.com/video/tZ2gG1v9Xg8/video.html. The modulation is always AM i believe. The "newer" style transmitters, as described in the referenced vid, induce phase by rotating the broadcast point in a circle around the reference broadcast point.
Also to/from doesn't mean towards or away from the VOR location, it means that the OBS is set to a radial that is away from or towards the transmitting station.
Thank you for the information!
What’s the line of sight distance in miles on the VOR?
It can send signals upto max range of 130NM.
@@JxJAVIATION it’s actually 200 miles. Line of sight.
However the earths mean radius is only 3959 miles which means only a mere distance of 50 miles would render this useless as it would be buried behind so much curvature.
200 miles equates to an inescapable 5.03 miles of curvature.
The mathematics based upon 3959 miles = 8” x miles sq. you have to sq the distance for every mile.
In my opinion and going by knickebein radar also and the battle of the beams during ww2 over the uk the earth is flat and stationary, space is fake.
VOR demonstrates that there is no curvature, after all the horizon is horizontal.

Do they still use vor I asked a jet blue pilot he said that they don't use it anymore do you know if american delta united southwest use them
Modern aircraft do not use VOR. They use specifically created waypoints for navigation.
@@JxJAVIATION The way points are DMe anyway. Aren't they from the satellite? And does it work on the same principle as the v o rd near me
You did not explain what is phase camparison
Why would you even need a " From"?
If the aircraft heading is to be changed the "from" indicator can be used to assist with the turn!
You did not explain what is phase camparison
I mentioned how the changes in phase give an aircraft's position.
@@JxJAVIATION Dear sir,I understand you have put an effort to explain the content and I know it’s not easy doing all this ,I appreciate your efforts and i would like to say thank you,
You talked about reference signal and directional signal and said phase difference is 90 degrees therefore the aircraft is 90 degrees radial but what is phase difference and how you get a phase difference of 90 degrees?Is it like this ?reference signal has a phase (100)and directional signal has a phase (10) so the difference is 90 therefore the aircraft is 90 degrees,I am just trying to understand the concept it’s ok if you don’t respond.
Thank you any way.
