    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 UA-cam 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!

      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.

    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.

    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!

  • @graemed-g522
    @graemed-g522 5 років тому

    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.

    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?

  • @oystercatcher943
    @oystercatcher943 2 роки тому

    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.

    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.

    @countlessmansions7735 2 роки тому

    I am a little confused, in 8:30 the needle seems to be to the left at this time and it is stated " as the needle is to our left we will go left to get to the station and as the needle is to our right we will go right to get to the station" then we proceeded to go right when the needle was pointing to the left... would you be able to help me understand what I am missing in this concept? thank you so much! I am enjoying the detail you are putting into this.
