- In this video, I explain how to fly and intercept any radial. I do not get in-depth on how VOR's work, instead I wanted to show you a quick and easy way to set-up your NAV radio and intercept a radial signed by your instructor or examiner.

SO you're telling me that out of all those elaborated tutorials composed of 8 parts like a spartacus season this man made the most comprehensive explanation with only a phone camera and did not even take more than 6 min...
I've watched hours of VOR videos trying to find one that made sense, and this is hands down the best one I have seen. Thank you!
Same
Same
could not agree more this is simply and to the point with no confusion. this man is a blessing
no lie
Exceptional indeed. Short & simple
Finally, I found someone who explains it just like my instructor after going through 100 videos. People make this so hard for no reason!
Dude I owe you my whole checkride 😭😭 THANK YOU. Quick and simple, my instructor wanted me to DRAW how to intercept it WHILE I was flying it and it was just overloading me. I finally understand no. Thank you so much
I'm glad I was able to help you :)
I understand VOR's however, Trying to do this under the hood flying by instruments only and holding my headings, altitude to ACS standards. I can manage to tune the two VOR's but trying to graph two lines on my Foreflight or paper maps to find my position is super difficult for me. I end up loosing my heading or altitude as I am under instrument. I can only take my eyes off the instruments for like 2 seconds at a time and that's not enough time for me to even try to start the graph line. Easy on the written exam but super hard doing it when flying under the hood. Is there any tricks to this. I have my Private Pilot check-ride coming up and need to find my position under the hood and stay in ACS standards. Any tricks. I do like you bugging at the 45 position as I was taking to long to intercept.
Simple and very effective AND with the actual instruments. Well done!
Thank you for the feedback:)
I have went a full year just not understanding this! You broke it down in 5 minutes!! The best explanation
I appreciate the comment Max
Quick and simple! my school instructors trying to explain how to intercept a radial by giving us a formulas but all along they couldve just let us know we could use that 45° marker on the HI...
Dude this video is amazing, super easy to follow, didn’t try and make it sound harder to sound smarter, just straight to the point thank you
Thanks for the feedback:)
I have watched so many videos trying to explain VOR and that was the best explanation I have ever seen. Simple, point by point and with instruments used for show and tell. Thank you so much!!!
Great video. For people just starting to understand this it is important to remember that the VOR doesn't account for heading, only aircraft position relative to the radial. Think of the plane as a dot not a plane..
Thank you. You’ve explained it much better and easier than on my FSX VOR lessons.
I've been flying since the 1990's, but haven't flown the last 13 years and am working my way back to the left seat. I learned things that I either forgot, or was never told. Such a clear explanation! Subscribed.
Thank for the simple explanation, I hate when videos explain things more complicated than it needs to be
ALEX YOURS EXPLANATION IS VERY COMPLETLY BECAUSE YOU EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP . THANKS
Thank you thank you thank you. Simplicity is always the best way to teach anything. But while some instructors make this so God Damm hard, you showed in such a simple way... congratulations
Thank you so much. Explaining VORs to new students can be rough. This video helps a lot.
D + 30. That’s the first time I’ve heard that one. Very helpful. Thanks.
Your students should count themselves lucky. You make a GREAT INSTRUCTOR. Your content is always SPOT ON 🙌🏾
Dude. Hands down beat ever. I literally just finished watching and it was so simple that I feel like an idiot
Short and sweet as I like !! Good job
Outstanding work and explanation of VOR made too easy. Now, I can ensure that I fully understand what I need to know. Thanks for your help and support 👍 🙏 🙌 🙂
You’re a checkride saver bro! Thank you!! Super simple and easy to understand. So glad you actually got into the cockpit to show how it’s done. I fly the exact same plane too! Cheers!
Glad it helped!
you make it so simple to understand, thank you so much!!!
U are the best i swear i got confused in my school they don’t know how to explain it as easy as u did
Again thank u so much 👍
It is my pleasure! Thanks for commenting
This is the video I was praying for. Didn't know to fly to the to value or bottom vale to fly from or to the station
Thank you so much! Been looking for a video who would explain it more clearly. Found this!!!! Thank you so much, now I understand clearly! ❤
THABJ YOUUUUUUUUUUUU SOOOO MUCH!!!Beautifully explained, NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND!!
Woow i been having a hard time getting to understand VOR after watching this video everything just clicked thank you
After watching so many videos this was such a clear and concise explanation! Understood it immediately! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
Mannnnn mannnnnn thank you so much finally I got this ! greetings from Turkey buddy you made everything clear in my mind . I dont know why other videos explains thiss like a rocket science.
This is really helpful
Just started my basic instrument training and vor is my next exercise thanks 🙏
Excellent video. very clearly explained. confused me for ages this concept.
Great explanation using sim
and real aircraft. Super helpful. Thank you very much.
This video really helped my understanding. Thanks!
Best and quick explanation, thanks
I love this and understanding more than when my instructor is teaching me, with ofc a lot of shouting. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge!
Mind blown, great explanation.
Wow...!!! Is that simple!
That's awesome Alex. Thank you . Taht open my mind.
Bravo, this was *really* well explained. This is the clearest VOR instruction I have seen that covers the practical side of things. When combined with the +2-2 rule for instant reciprocal calculation, you’re set! Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback:)
This helped me a lot. Great vid.
Brother, I watched like 10 different vor videos and was still confused and this one video solved everything
Thanks so much! This made so much sense.
This is such a great explanation. Thanks! Can't wait to start practicing this in the sim and then in the plane. Hopefully my CFII will be impressed I've practiced this alrady
Wow am saving this video definitely best VOR explanation out here … you earned a like and subscribe thank you so much man ❤️
Thank you best video yet on vors, I fly out of naples and also use the cypress vor with my instructor
I’m glad it helped! 😀
great and easy explanation !
Great job explaining that! 👏👏👏
By far the best, simplest explanation, thank you!👍
Glad you liked the video :)
Bruuuh this is the best video explaining VOR exactly how it was meant to. Good job brother, hands down the best one!💪
Thanks Oscar! I appreciate it
@@AlexBengoechea im on my way to the first flight lessons, by the way! You really helped me out a lot!
This video was really helpful!
Thanks Alex, you clarified everything very well ;)
It helps me a lot! Thank you!
Where were you 25 years ago when I was learning to fly IFR! Darn your practical example is simple and easy to follow.
Thank you so much :) I appreciate the comment
Brilliant video ,thank you for helping me
Very good and easy to understand practical explanation
Great video. Thank you so much.
Holy Moly Brotherrrrrrrr👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Can’t thank you enough…hope you doing well🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌…fair winds snd clear skies🙏🙏❤️❤️👏👏👏
Thanks Brotha 😀 likewise
Such a great video, thank you good sir.
Best practical explanation! Thanks
Haven't flown in months and same with simulations too, kinda just been busy with focusing on college and I was scheduled to have a simulation tomorrow. Forgot everything about the basics and you good sir are a life and dream saver.
I appreciate the comment Zed! :)
Thank you , what a good explanation
Thank you man. You the best.
Interesting method. Students love it because it’s easy to understand. At my school, we take the difference between our current radial and the desired radial, double it, and add or subtract based on the direction of turn. It’s a little bit more complicated but the result is an optimal intercept angle. 45° can be a little too much or not enough depending on how far off course you are at the time. Great video!
Huh that’s a great method as well! Thanks for sharing
Very helpful with actual equipment 😮
Excellent video and explained men, and in the airplane I use too so..., very functional
Thanks a ton mate.. you helped with some stupid confusion I had. appreciate your time
Mi pleasure 🤩
Made it look so easy
Great lesson Alex, thank you!
Thanks Mike :)
Amazing video. Whish me luck that it'll help me in tomorrow's progress check
You’re a genius ! Thank you
Thank you for spreading your knowledge
I appreciate you watching
You’re the best bro ! Honestly
@@goelminga9578 thanks man! I appreciate the comment
This is fabulous.
Nice and easy concept to follow. Well explained and in general good video.
Although it won't work all the time. As a professional pilot I'll explain it briefly why and how to if you wanna make sure you are always on the right track.
Keep in mind the Distance from the VOR and especially on which radial you are on... eg. you are on Radial 210 (HDG 030) and you are instructed to fly on Radial 270 inbound (HDG 090). In this case you would fly North (HDG 360) to intercept. Makes sense. So you gonna turn left. With just simply a 45° Intercept Angle you would miss the VOR and intercept when flying outbound on the radial 090.
So if the two radials are close a rough interception of 45° works. Otherwise use the Formula D+30°. Meaning difference of Radials plus 30°. In my example. 270°-210° makes a differenz of 60°. Hence with the rule D+30°= 60°+30°= 90° intercept angle. HDG 090-90 makes you fly north.
Other example: Radial 260 inbound. Current Radial 240. Differenz = 20°; D+30=50° intercept angle. Radial 260 inbound means fly on HDG 080 (260-180)... Intercept course 030 (80°-50°)...
As you can see if the radials are close the rough 45° angle works really well and is suited for many situations, but if you wanna be sure at all times use the Formula D+30°
Obviously with the term HDG i was assuming that there is no wind, for those of you who would want to complain about that. ;)
Nice simple way to explain!
J T thanks 🙏🏼
You're great man! Thank you very much❤
I appreciate it Antonio! Thanks for watching
Thanks a lot, It made my life easier
This helped so much, thank you
My pleasure:)
Great video
It was great, Thank you
Amazing way to teach
Thank You 🙏🏼
Super practical, nice vid man❤
Thanks Mateo
Amazing video.
Tq u made me understand better
Dude thank you my guy. It’s so easy once someone that knows how to explain something. CFIS need to learn how to teach somewhat honestly
Thanks man I appreciate the comment :)
Dude straight up, my CFI didnt give one ounce of shits i struggled alot due to him being on the verge of 1500 hrs. At the end of the day some profesionalism and some fucks are needed
Nice video. Well done. Keep in mind that ATC will give you a heading for the intercept. You likely won't be picking your own 45 degree intercept angle. Also, ATC usually gives an intercept radial TO a fix, not FROM (instructors, however, will give you all kinds of odd clearances to get you proficient). In that case you need to convert the radial to an inbound course to a fix (put the radial at the bottom of the case and the course will be at the top, if you're slow at math), which you discussed. It helps to have a chart displayed (a paper one is nice and won't get deleted) for situational awareness. Once you get everything set up, look at the chart to make sure the plane is going where you think it's going (it's easy to get radials and courses mixed up). Just like holding patterns, write down the clearance, draw a picture of it, set it up, and while flying it, double check everything. Single pilot without an autopilot IFR is the toughest flying you can do. It's a LOT easier in a jet, with a nice autopilot and crew.

THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🏼
EXCELLENT. Thanks!
about to walk into my written test n watching this in the parking lot 😂
Nice! Good luck 👍🏼
well made video
Thank you just thank you ❤
very helpfull, thank you
Wao! Thank you for sharing .
Great, thank you!
Very good tip
You a legend
Wow you did a great job explaining that! I want to personally thank you..👍. I do have one question though... When you say if they tell you to intercept the 120 radial..." FROM THE STATION ". is that the same thing as saying..."OUTBOUND "
good job
hey, Alex, I dont think the first step, which is flying to the same direction (in your case 120) is necessary. after tune to 120 on OBS, the needle will give you the heading to turn. for a 90 degree intercept, you turn to 210. this will get you fast toward the radial. now, you have two directions to fly on this radial 120 or 300, if in your case, fly out bound heading 120, choose the heading in the middle of 120 and 210, which is about 170.
The to/from flag doesnt matter at all.
If in your location, you twist the OBS to 300, the CDI needle will swing to the left, but magically, the 90 degree interception angle is still 210 although this time, the needle is to the left. you still fly 210 to fly 90 degree toward the radial. then same choice, 120 or 300?
I feel that follow my method, you wont need to worry about to and flow flag at all, and it applies to all situations. you don't even need to know what you location relative to the VOR, just follow the instruction, almost like ATC giving you vectors.
Good video, I like the “doughnut” explanation with cockpit instruments makes a great visual aid, thank you. Just curious, often do you find that you use a 30 degree intercept instead, ie; outbound cross country nav?
