    After watching a few VOR navigation videos on UA-cam, yours is the only one I understood. I am not a pilot yet but I am gaining a lot of knowledge before ground school. Thank you for your way of teaching.

    I wished I watched these videos years ago because it would have saved me a lot of instruction in the air with CFI's blaring instructions, ATC babbling in the background and the whirl of the engines. Thank you for your support of aviators who are learning.

    I am a new member of the school and. The reason i joined is because i liked a lot the videos i saw in UTUBE. And I have to say, the videos that are posted in utube , yes it showes the school is great, but to be honest, I think the actual classes are a thousand times better. Is incredible the suppport you get from the school , the you ask them a question and in less than nothing you get an answer. Honestly, the best online school ever!!!!!!!

    When the examiner asked me to dial in a VOR and fly to it, I did so without comparing each Morse Code character with the sectional. On the ground, the examiner criticized me for not verifying the VOR. I told him that I DID verify the VOR. I told him that I'm an amateur radio operator and I know Morse Code. He smiled. In retrospect, I should have repeated the letters I was hearing out loud, but it was so natural to me to be reading the code that I didn't think of it. So, if you know Morse Code and don't need to compare the dits and dahs with the sectional to verify a VOR, say something. As an aside, one of my pleasures was flying to smaller towns using their local AM broadcast station as an NDB and using a technique taught to me by a lady instructor who once ferried aircraft in WWII that allowed me to track straight to an NDB in a crosswind. I wonder if really practical techniques like that are taught in this online ground school class.

    • @mrdonsmith
      @mrdonsmith 3 роки тому +1

      Learning Morse Code is pretty easy. However, some people fear it for reasons I can't understand. If I were teaching it, I would start out with a dit. That's an E. Then di-dit (two dits), that's an I (eye), then di-di-dit. That's an S. Have someone send a mix of those three letters for a few minutes and you'll reach a point where you just know each character and you don't have to think about it. A dah (dash) is a T. Da-dah is an M. Da-da-dah, is O (oh). Now, you know how to send S-O-S, don't you? I once had a Cub Scout troop over to show them amateur radio. My daughter, who was about 12 at the time, was watching me demo Morse Code. After the demo, I had to run an errand. When I came back about two hours later, Deanna, my daughter, could send any letter of the alphabet in Morse Code! Slowly, but she did it. One final easy lesson: Numbers are sent is a pattern of five characters. 'One' is one dit followed by four dah's. 'Two' is two dit's followed by three dah's. Get it? 'Five' is five dit's. Six through Zero reverses the pattern; 6 is one dah followed by four dit's. 7 is two dah's followed by three dit's. You get it. What's zero? Yeah, you got it.

    @bill2392 5 років тому +2

    Very nice. Agree with some of the comments below regarding terminology. Radials "radiate" outward. The 090 radial starts on the East side of the station and "radiates" outward. You can say, "Intercept the 090 radial and track inbound." But you cant do that if you are anywhere on the West side of the station. The verbiage should be, "Intercept the 270 radial and track inbound." Or...."Intercept the 090 course and track inbound."

  • @BlueLineSpeed
    @BlueLineSpeed 6 років тому +3

    Dictionary definition of a Radii (origin of Radial): "A straight line extending from the centre of a circle." in the case of a VOR it has 360 radii.
    It would be clearer to use bearing to and radial from. If you're on a 050 bearing TO a VOR, you are located on the 230 radial FROM the VOR. This provides clarity in definition, the same way you only use the word "takeoff" if its in a "takeoff clearance" otherwise its departure. If you say you're on the 050 radial "but is it to or from" you are increasing the potential for error by 50%, this may be why such a high % of students make errors on this during check rides.
    In this example; you are located on a 050 BEARING to the VOR on a heading of 070. What heading do you require to intercept the 090 RADIAL? And where are you in relation to the VOR? Answer: 050 bearing TO must be 230 Radial FROM..., you can only be SW of the VOR.
    Do not use the definition TO and FROM in relation to your VOR positioning, only use it in reference to your aircraft instrumentation.

  • @badgerfishinski6857
    @badgerfishinski6857 10 місяців тому

    06:20 It's not a 050 degree radial to the station. You are flying the 230 radial inbound, which happens to be a 050 degree magnetic course.... but it's not the 050 degree radial... it's the 230 radial TO the station. You are still on the 230 degree radial. It doesn't care what direction your are flying. So the takeaway is in order to fly the 230 degree radial TO the station, just dial your OBS with 230 on the BOTTOM with a TO indication, which means 050 will be on top. Inbound = (230 degree Radial on the) Bottom =TO indication. You are making this more difficult than it actually is.... This is a great VOR learning tool tho! Thanks for sharing.
